Nice! Any chance we can get close-ups and description of your bottom-pour arrangement? Hanging up the ladle would uncomplicate my life greatly.

I have become able to live with and even embrace my lead envy, now I have to have lead smelting pot envy to deal with?

I'm going to check my birth certificate and see if "not fair" was mentioned anyplace, I know I told the kids it was not on theirs but I'm going to check my certificate after seeing that sweet pot.

Isn't it wonderful getting to spend your money on all kinds of new toys.
