This is about casting safety...Kinda
Was helping Cou-san Leroy last month install a gate made of drill pipe on Grandmaw's property, Seem's the local junkie's were coming in there and throwing down their dirty needle's, So Cou-san Leroy call's me up to help, So i run over there to Ragley La. about 110 mile's from the house,Meet him and we go out to the old place with a drill pipe gate to install.
Going good so far, We get the gate in and go to set the locking post and the hole is not deep enough..So Cuz break's out a 10# sledge and start's pounding away, I'm about 6' feet away and ''WHAM'' next thing i know is my right foot is hurting like a son of a gun...
I hobble over to the truck tailgate,sit down on a bucket and pull off the boot,Sure enough it's broken !!!
At any rate i got a bag and packed it with ice,Watched the posted child for Murphy's Law finish up.
Load my truck and i drive back home so my wife the R.N.can bring me to the E.room
I must say to the E.room's credit they did get me in and fixed up in a hurry !!!
So to finish up my story i got in a Lyman's mold last night 401608 .40 cal 175gr.
So necessity for safety being important in casting today this is what i came up with...
You can laugh now...
