My dad told me a couple of weeks ago that he finished his plumbing job on his house and had about 50lbs of lead pipe for me! :) He had a fellow co-worker that had asked him while he was working on his bathroom project if any of his pipe he was removing was lead. He replied "sure is, and my son's getting it for making bullets!"
Then he calls just minutes ago and asked if I was still looking for a big cast iron pot to smelt in. I said yes! He tells me that he found one for $12 AND it's 50% off senior citizen day at the thrift shop he's at. Up until now, I've been smelting in a SS 2qt sauce pan. YES it is a MAJOR PITA!
Not a bad investment for $6!
Works out even better because I had no idea how I was going to melt down several large elbows in that little pot!
