The attached PDF file is a drawing of a steel pot made from standard 12 inch pipe.
The pot consists of a 13 inch tall pieces of 12 inch pipe with three legs for support.
The pipe has a wall thickness of 3/8 inch and the welded in bottom is also 3/8 inch thick.
The three support legs are also 3/8 inch thick.
The total pot assembled weighs around 78 pounds. The pot will hold 500 pounds of lead.
The legs will be cut with a laser CNC cutting machine.
Have not made the pot as of today and the drawing in PDF file format is for a reference to the size of the complete unit.
Will look for a shot piece of pipe at the scrape yard next week.
This drawing may be helpful to others looking for a similar capacity smelting pot.
The pot was designed using SolidWorks and the drawing is a PDF print out of an AutoCAD drawing developed from the SolidWorks model.
