Been actively looking to stock up on some raw materials so been putting the effort in and getting the word out with some success.
A mate came up with around 7 stone of wheel wheights, another got me a couple of cwt of lead pipe and another delivered up 4 stone of lead flashing. Had it all in the back of one of estate cars 'till I got it melted down. Well the front drivers tyre punctured last night, I put the spare on and my wife took it down to our local tyre place for a repair.
Whilst she was in the lad there, its a father and son small independant business specialising in insurance job tyres, asked what the buckets of wheel weights and the lead was for. Kay told him that I cast bullets with it and he gave her his wheel weight box which was full and said bring it back quick and then call back every 2 weeks or so for the contents, there was 6 or 7 stone WWs and sundry tyre shop stuff in that box.
A steady supply is like a dream come true especially as he's only 3-4 minutes away, funny though we've asked him on past occasions for some WWs and he's said no. Maybe they were going somewhere else then and that person no longer wants them, who knows, nowt queereer than folk.
Anyway I'll be making hay whilst the sun shines and building up that ingot wall in the garage again.
I'm a happy chappy. :drinks:
