I just got a Littleton Shot Maker and was thinking about what infrastructure I should put together for it. It occurred to me that a parts washer might be a good base component. They're strong enough to hold lots of weight, they have a tub holding 20 gallons of liquid, they have a liquid circulating system, and they have a safety lid which automatically closes in case of fire.
Seems to me there are two options:
1. Install the shot maker on the tool shelf beneath the lid, in which case the whole thing can be closed when not in use.
2. Install the shot maker outside the tub and modify the pump so the liquid level could be raised to the lid.
Harbor Freight has an all metal parts washer for $98, but there are other brands out there with similar designs.
I'm leaning towards option 1, but wanted to hear if anyone else had given this a try.
