    Pile of wheel weights

    I had to do a little cleaning in the shop and I built this box in an attempt to organize things a little better. The box is 2ft x 4ft x 7 1/2 in and rides on a heavy duty cart. I had to get the buckets and ice chest out of the floor.



    These are from my scrounging efforts last winter and this past spring. Cost including cash, travel, doughnuts and beer was around $100. I have sorted a couple of buckets before it got hot and will get back on it after hunting season. I'm guessing there are around 600-800# here.

    I have thought of doing something similar on a smaller scale using a furniture dolly.

    I had to do something, as the buckets were cluttering up the floor in the shop. This just came to mind. Hopefully after hunting season these will be in 1# ingots and I'll be scrounging for more!

    just so you know, melting lead can be dangerous to your health, both mental and physical. You better get rid of them fast, and the best way would be to offer them to other "friends" as a PIF.

    Looks like the ultimate Man Cave. The only thing missing is the TV to watch Football and the comfortable chair.
