smelting today

[D Crockett]

I desided to melt some ww today. I was going good I have 18 single cavity ingot moulds .and was working on my 4th set of 18 when it happened. the flame on the turkey fryer goes out. tried to relight it but it keeps going out. so I check the gas tank you gussed it I am out of gas. and I can not get any till Tuesday the tank is one of the big ones about a 100 lbs tank. but I did get 72 ingots made 3 x 72 =216 lbs of ww done .I have about 300 left to do and will be getting 700 lbs more next week . so I have to get that tank filled . then I am going to cast me some bullets. enough for next years shooting .

I guess I get lucky on that deal.
I have over 500 gallons in bulk with a wet line to refill my bottles.
We do use propane as the secondary heat for winter.
I'm not that crazy as to have 500 gallons for smelting but I might still use it that way.

Ha, I win the lucky award on this one. I work for a freight company that also deals in Propane and when I run out I can go down and unlock the dispenser and fill my bottle anytime. I just leave a note and they bill me later. At the employees rate. Dennis

I think I get more excited from the number of ingots I make then the boolits.

The basics are you have to get your pictures on the net (photobucket, this site's hosting feature, etc.). Then you enclose the URL for the picture location inside {img} {/img} tags (where { is replaced by [). Do a quote response to this post to see what it looks like with the picture below:
