Great pot

[Bret4207]

This is that stainless pot I've been bragging on for a couple years. Apparently I haven't quite got photbucket figured out yet! Keeps telling me it's an invalid file?

You want to have the code "..." surrounding the link to the photobucket file.

i.e. http://server/path/filename

Thank god you included a picture. I was afraid you were talking about some "evidence" from your days as a trooper!!!

[OBXPilgrim]

I was kinda wondering what kind of internet searches this thread would pop up on, with a name like that.

[Bret4207]

I'm STILL a Trooper. Retirement appears a ways off yet. Glad you all caught the humorus title.

KTW- Whut?! I tried using the tools at Photobucket for posting to a forum, but no go. Do you havhe to add the "img" manually or should it come up off Photobucket?

Bret4207,

Under each picture in your Photobucket album there are three rectangular boxes. Click on the third one (bottom one) and it will automatically sent that pic to your clipboard and all you have to do is come here, open up your new post and paste the pic into the post. You are in the home stretch now.:drinks:

VTDW, has said it correctly. Just click on the bottom bar in your Photo Bucket account file where it say IMG, copy it and take it home to the forum where you want to post it and paste that sucker.

Works everytime. :-D

Nice going on your picture posting.

Thanks guys. Gotta work on resizing it now. BTW- This is my shop microwave, circa 1980. Note the ANALOG timer. Sucker dims the lights for 3 miles around! Hey, it was free!:drinks:

Ah, we're getting there.

Bret--

It does my heart good to see that others make use of decrepit equipment just like I do. My rotten daughters often remark that both I and many of the tools I use belong in a museum.

Ok, now I see how to do it. At least for the moment, CRS disease will set in by 1 hour from now.

Yeah Al, I'm with ya there. My kids, except for the 4 and 5 year old, can't understand why I don't drive a new truck. "Dad, roofing screws weren't made to hold a door onto a truck!"

Bret,

You got the hang of it now. Just remember to keep the orginal in your computer, or backed up on disk, because once you resize, you can't go back.

When in doubt or confused, post a pic with the post.

MAN CAVE! Nice use of old stuff.

[Wayne Smith]

So what is the pot and where did you get it? I'd kinda like one or two.

The stainless pot looks like a useful item, but aren't you going backward?

It appears you fill it with bullets...and then what?
Is there an in-between step where you make ingots...or do you just go straight to pouring wheel weights?

:mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen: Good one! Just proving I DO cull a few I guess.

Pump guy- no biggy. At least i'm not on the welfare!

I got the pot at a hardware store several years ago. It's roughly 5.75" wide and high, I think it's a 6 or 8 cup measure. As it stands in the pic it weighs around 32-34 pounds on my "American Family Harvest Scale", so I woulds say full up it will hold at LEAST 45 lbs of ww alloy. I usually use a 1200 watt hotplate for heat. It works good for me and only cost $10.00 or so. I'd love one of Bill Fergusons big pots but being both cheap and ..... well, okay lets leave it at CHEAP, I can't justify spending that mucho dinero. I sometimes help the hotplate along with a propane torch if I'm in a hurry but once up to heat it holds temp pretty well. The best thing about it is that since going to the stainless pot my fluxing has been cut in half at least. My mix comes out much cleaner and I think it was just rust I was getting and still get in my iron pots. Just my humble opinion, YMMV.
