I probably should get tested. I'm an A/V technician who when I started 45 years ago would hold the solder in my teeth as a third hand while soldering connections. Not the smartest thing I ever did.

There was a goblet elsewhere in the mall that obviously had a weighted base. I've gotten pretty good at spotting them. Sometimes you can get the base to flex when you push on it. I passed on the...

Here's one at 16oz that I'm not melting down. It's over my bench now.

Forum: Lead and Lead Alloys
So, my wife and I are at a nearby antique mall and I spot this. Look's like aluminum, but as I pick it up my mind goes "sure is heavy". No hallmark, but I can scratch it with my fingernail. 44.6...

Just a #5 Cool Whip container. No BBs, but I think I'm going to get some for better coverage.

My first attempt at PC and I'm happy! Eastwood ford light blue, shake and bake (no BBs) in my $10 yard sale convection oven. Humidity at 35%. Still warm on the paper.

I had the same thought. The truck weights are so much bigger than car weights. Maybe someone on the forum has a pic of a scoop or shovel that would work.

Just pulled another 100 lbs. out of the barrel. 2 to 1 CO over SO and I'm only a quarter of the way down. Some of these monsters are 10 oz and I had one at 12 oz. So far I've pulled 250 lbs. of...

Some of the COWW felt hard and all these are from heavy trucks. I may need to send a sample to BNE to have them tested.

Just scored what could be a lifetime supply of COWW and SOWW. The owner of a large commercial truck tire business said I could harvest all the WW out of their 55 gallon barrel. Turns out commercial...
