Hello All
The attached PDF file is from a CAD drawing of a 100 pound casting pot.
The valve design is copied from a post made in 2009 by another member on this forum.
The container for melting the lead is 8 inch pipe with a 1/4 inch bottom plate.
I may make two of these pots for making alloys for special purposes.
Just another drawing with some thought.
Design is done in Solid Works.
I basically have the same thing, But mine was a ladle pot made one night in the beth steel mill out of scrap about 45 years ago. Still using it.. God Bless to all and theirs.
Goofy aka Godfrey.
ETA: with old age I only load it about 2/3rds full. to darn heavy.. I'm old.

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America " for an amount of "up to and including my life."
Dern nice portrait, gots character!
We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).
Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.
We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!
