Lead scrounging tools

[Lead pot]

Blackwater,

Good to here from you agn. The reason I posted that is I been there and done that.
Another thing that will empty a lead pot is dipping a cold ladle or putting a cold ingot in the soup, by the time you feel that violent boil it's to late, you might have enough time to turn your head so you dont get it in your face.
I wore a lead over coat a few times

LP.

Blackwater:

A friend worked one summer in a small foundry. They had a big single-faced casting to run, and just tamped the pattern into the sand in a pit in the shop floor. When they poured, it seemed to take a lot more metal than they expected, then there was series of bangs outside, and they looked down the alley to see manhole covers flying up like tiddlywinks. Yup, they'd broken through into the sewer line that ran under the shop.
