I swear, I tried to find an answer on this using search, and I couldn't.
I have a bunch of lead, mainly in Linotype and cut-offs of pure lead in sheet form that I'm told came from a lead garment manufacturer.
Currently I have them in those heavy cardboard boxes that gallon water jugs come in, and they are resting on rolling carts, which is fine as long as they just sit there.
Here's my problem...
I'm moving this fall and I need to put the lead in storage, but those cardboard boxes will fall apart if I try to move them at all.
So basically, I need to transfer them to something that I can store them, that is stackable for reasonably compact storage, sturdy enough to be moved around without falling apart, and small enough that the weight is manageable for people who are NOT the Incredible Hulk. And hopefully not inconveniently expensive.
Probably something in the 50 to 100 pound range when filled would make a reasonable compromise between being light enough to lift, versus having a ridiculous number of containers.
I have considered storage bins, 1 gallon metal paint cans, ammo cans, plastic paint buckets of 5 gallons or less. (not filled all the way of course)
It occurs to me that y'all might have some suggestions based on experience, and save me a lot of experimenting. So... What would you suggest for storage containers?
