Welcome back!

Have you hit one with a hammer to see if it is brittle? That looks like a LOT of antimony.

Great to see you educating him on the snakes. Most snakes are beneficial to the ecology, even the poisonous ones. Learning what to do when you encounter them is a very needed skill. Way back when, I...

We have black snakes and garter snakes around me and I fully welcome them around the perimeter of the house. When the snakes are present I have no mice whatsoever. Problem is that they will follow...

Now you need to check the rest of the safes to find the guns it goes to. LOL

I am looking at this procedure somewhere in the future so watching how you do. Glad it al went well.

If you are at 90% then the difference is negligible, but how do you know you have 90% without testing? And as has been said, the price is going up on pewter so is it still worth it?

And you are not getting pure tin which you can buy at places like Rotometals and know for sure what you got. You can buy pure tin for 28.00 lb. and that pound will do a lot more than pewter alloy....

Hagerty covers all my cars except for the one daily driver. They even cover my 06 Mustang GT. The price I pay for three pickups and two antiques cars plus the Mustang is less that just the Mustang...

I wish I had know this a week ago, I was just through NC on 95 last Wednesday and I have tons of wheel weights I could have traded.

You must live in a wide open area! If I tried that here the fire company would show up in very short order.

See my post #14 where I quoted the uses of Indium.

What is a newspaper? I have heard about them as something OLD people used to stare at. :roll::roll:


Seriously, they just stopped delivering my paper 5-6 years ago and told me to look at it...

You would not use lead as a body dolly. It is dshaped a little like one but definitely not a body tool if it is lead.

Rotometals has super pure tin for 38.00 for a 1.1 lb. bar. Regular tin for 28.00 with a minimum purchase of 6 units.

If they ever settle my workers comp suit from 18 years ago I might have the money to move but I can't afford it right now. Then is the issue of the actual move, ten years ago I could have done a lot...

That was a great find, they look like 25 plus lbs. each. Toxic, yea right. I live in NJ and I have three superfund sites within 5 miles of me. A military missile silo where a nuke missile caught on...

NJ is great for changing the rules, about every two weeks. Even the cops have no idea what is legal and what is not at this point. My CCW is due this fall and I have to go through the same police QC1...

Interesting, I wonder if anyone has ever gone back down in those mines to do a visual survey? Or are they all flooded?

Slick 50! There is a name I have not heard for a long time. I remember putting that in a racing engine for dirt track racing to see if it helped. I didn't see any difference in my times but I did win...

Bazoo is correct, 3 lbs. of that alloy to 100 lbs. of wheel weights will give you pb 93-Sn 3.07,Sb 3.05,Arsenic .24, Cu.10.
Another way to look at it is 4.8 oz. to 10lbs.

BHN 12.3

Adding that to wheel weights would raise your Sb. which you would not want. This is an alloy that would be perfect to add to pure lead.

Evaporust is a Chelating process and I am pretty sure it cannot harm solid metal. I have had very good results with Evaporust on rusted old tools and threading dies. It did not harm the threads in...

Looking at those two pictures side by side you can see that little has changed other than the modern handling machinery.

It has been unusually cold the last week and a half so I hope they don't show up here yet but this is about the time they usually get here. Will need to get the feeders out and up just in case. They...
