national lead co?

I have some too

Yeah, it's outside...the draft just pulls some of the smoke inside. Didn't bother me so much with solder, as I'm used to rosin. Won't do anything stinky though. Learned those lessons last time. ...

PERFECT!

Pretty sad, I gotta fire up the planer JUST so I can get sawdust. Just going to plane a 2x4 into nothing.

The title is somewhat self explanatory. Is there a way to do it? I've got a cover on my pot, but it's still godawful.

What are you guys using as a dross skimmer? I have some perforated...

Unless you shoot A LOT, $1 a lb is very fair.

I would cast inside...but if you've ever processed 100 lbs of rosin core solder, you know why the pot is outside! Bad enough that it's next to the garage. I wish it was further away, so I could hit...

EVERY SINGLE TIME I START TO PROCESS LEAD!!!

Today was a beautiful day. I turn the furnace on, check temperature after a bit...400 degrees....gettin there. Go back inside, wait. Come back...

Organ pipes range all over the place, depending on size. The high pitch tiny ones are tin, low pitch tiny ones are lead. Middle size are tin / lead, tin percentage around 15%. Once you get bigger,...

The coolest part of my "hoard" are those long tubular things.....pipe organ pipes. I actually feel guilty melting those down. I never find any of the tin ones though. I've got a bunch that will...

This thing is awesome once you get a decent amount of lead in it....heating it up however takes forever.

Yeah, I know what I've got. This is about a years worth of hoarding...somewhat...

It could be a long night. I've got a couple more buckets of solder rolls hiding somewhere.

I've had the idea for a while....a decrepit old pottery kiln, a pid controller, a cutoff tank and some steel plate. Not sure how many pounds she'll hold, but tank size is 7 3/8" x 8" or so.
...

This is all .008"

Haven't decided what I'm going to do yet.

holy ****....so people would probably **** themselves if they knew how large of an amount this is.

lemme see what my options are, would people be interested in a group buy?

Should clarify...it's in the scrap dumpster...if I take it I have to pay for it.

It still has the emulsion on it, I took a sheet to play with...it's not going anywhere for a while.

Is that what people are using for checks?

I ask because a whole bunch of it just went in to the dumpster. Guess they ordered the wrong kind or something, because it's all brand new.

Just...

Most sincere condolences.

As someone who has aspergers, it hits close to home, and while I understand it, I don't. There is so much that is impossible to understand.

no more words.

Just looking at it, it looks like pewter.

Lead spot price is around $.90/lb

Don't know what the scrap yard pays, just what I pay them to take it away. Clean is $.85/lb (they almost always have it). Lino is usually $1.00 a pound (if...

So the spacers (the strips with no letters) are the exact same alloy as the linotype, or at least they were for the last load that I shipped out. I had them analyzed to make sure.

A quick way to...

Why stainless? I really prefer cast iron, but I'm not sure if I'm missing out.

I've heated lead in stainless, and it didn't do much for me...I like that the entire bottom of the pan gets hot...

It doesn't really even need to be a true cylinder...you just have to be able to weigh a known sample of 100% tin or 100% lead (or a known ratio) so that you have something to compare to.

Do you...

This is the same test scrap yards used to do. I have befriended a local scrap yard owner. His father was in the business...

No numbers or other Id on it...just kesterloy tinning solder. Anybody have any clue? No noise when bending.
