Day after returning from Las Fallas, Valencia and a day before my Birthday.

 

Will try and bring along some nice shells again if the site fits, those Kamuro's seem to go down well last year.

We had a look at the site on sat and it is fine for 100mm with 125mm ok for the finale.




#78079 Almost a "stash"

I know exactly where you guys are coming from, It's a tad bit like holding the rains to a powerfull car, you dont need to use the power but the feeling of having it is something else. I believe it is the same with farmers and there guns!

Do you guys not get that butterfly in your stomach when you think of what could potentially happen while in there? Being a worrier I get really nervous being around large quantaties of pyro!


There is no hope for me then,fast bikes,cabinet of guns and very happy in my store,maybe i need two shrinks :lol:

#73654 Improvised Ball Mill?

I recast my lead by melting it in a baked bean (The type you open with a tin opener NOT the ringpull type as the lip left interferes with the pouring.) I heat the tin on a camping stove (having first deformed the tin a little to make a pouring spout.) Wear eye protection and gloves and do this outside. I use long nose pliers to lift the hot tin can.

I cast my media in home rolled card tubes that I'd rolled for rockets and I plugged one end with clay, just like making a choke. Tape one end, the just put the clay in and hammer it down with a drift.

Stand the card tubes in sand or earth and pour. When set, cut off the tubes with a knife.

Job done.

You can of course roll tubes to whatever length and diameter that best suits your needs.


obviously you will be wearing a respirator when smelting lead,you might otherwise in the future start forgeting what it was you started in the first place! :wacko:
