I had big plans for getting all my range scrap into ingots today. But I got a late start and only managed to get through 5 buckets. I'll try to get the last 3 tomorrow. Maybe I'll even have some time to make a dent in the WW... I guess it all depends on how good my bed feels in the morning. :-P

The proceeds for your viewing pleasure. 684 ingots onto the pile.

That's a serious pile of metal. Enough to keep you casting for atleast a couple of days?

Yeah, a month or two. [smilie=1:

I'm using a bit under 200 pounds a year these days.

I'm a hurting puppy and getting ready for bed. I don't remember it being this much work 20 years ago. :oops:

I'm a bit surprised that a piece of plywood is strong enough to support all that lead.

There are a couple 2X6s and a few screws that aren't evident due to the angle.

i keep my smelting down to about 3 hrs at a time, or 3-4 buckets at a whack.
you gotta put all the stuff away.
and stack the ingots too.

This smelt was primarily intended as a peace keeping mission to get the buckets of raw scrap out of Her Majesty's garage. [smilie=1:

I'm good into my 70's at current usage so I'm not actively seeking. But if I stumble across something, I still pick it up. Doesn't matter to me how much excess stock my daughter's husband has to pack out of the place after I'm gone.:lol:

Well, the rest of the range scrap and the clip on WW are going to have to wait for another day. I did do the stick on WW this afternoon and got 64 ingots. It was only a small box, but one more bit of clutter out of her garage. When the wife is happy, everybody's happy. ;)
