Thursday night I noticed a bucket of wheel weights outside my shop. It was going to rain so put a lid on it. I could just pick it up but couldn't carry it to the shop.

Tonight I found another one outside the shop,even fuller. I had to cover it up but think I will need to drill a hole in this one.

My friend needs to get ahold of me before showing up.

Sounds like a heavy cross to bear

I'd figure a way to have a hand truck around to move it around if I can't pick it up. I got 2.

You are truly a bless-ed man! Our Lourde is kind and giveth casting alloy to the deserving. give a Man a box of ammo and he shoots for a day, give a Man (with ambition, casting ability and shooting impetus) a bucket of wheel weights and he will defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and, yes, domestic....[smilie=l:

Nice. I paid for a set of tires and rear brakes at the local tire shop this morning...then picked-up all the used WWs they had, about 10 gallons total, looks like I might net 4 gallons of COWWs, 2 gallons of SOWW, a gallon maybe of zinc and couple gallons of steel & trash.

I would just keep my mouth shut and let him continue to bring them. Then go buy a $50.00 gift card to a local restaurant and stick it in his door.

As far as moving them...get an old piece of plywood or something akin, tip the bucket over and split the weight.

I would give him a key for the door and make sure theres nectar in the fridge for that lead fairy, its very hot out and you dont want that fairy to get heat stroke!

I would be thankful to have friends like that! (and I do) Go buy a 2 wheel hand truck to move them with. The gift card at a nice restrauant is a good idea too!

my last 5 gallon bucket had over half zinc and steel WW. as well as the usual valve stems and other trash, but it was free.

I talked to him today. We have a friend that will take all the steel and zinc and he will come help me sort. I need to get some new lights in the shop. Then it's time to make ammo again.
