Fairly busy these days, but when I wandered close to the lead stash it called to me. Set about weighing lead and tin for a 30:1 mix on scales that measure to 1/10th ounce. Weighed lead until I thought it about right with assorted ingots from a Lyman ingot mould and muffin tin. 15# zero ounces on the button.

Put a stick of tin on the scale previously whacked from a 1# bar. 8.0 ounces on the button.

Probably I should play the lottery today?

Naw, I'm taking a nap.


I am..........disturbed.

Got Det Cord?

Bout ready to start on this bruiser, a freebie from an old customer that came off one of his tractors. Didn't weigh it but it has a pucker factor of at least 10+, think my wheel borrow could use some ibuprofen. grin

Woody, I'd give my left one for a few hundred yards of det cord.

I see an ax in your future. Make a bet with an 18 year old that thinks he's tough. Cut it in 4 pieces in 10 minutes?

We want videos!

That thing serve as ballast on the Bunker Hill mebbe?

It's probably just the smelter's ID stamp like I've seen on several other antique tricycle tractors especially Farmal models "H"and "M" that used em for counterweights.

From Wiki leaky..

The Bunker Hill Mine and Smelting Complex ("Bunker Hill smelter"), was a large smelter located in Kellogg, Idaho. When built, it was the largest smelting facility in the world.[1]

The late 1880s saw a boom in mining activity in Idaho's Silver Valley as railroad lines were built through what was previously inaccessible wilderness. The Bunker Hill mine, the largest of the Coeur d'Alene area mines, was discovered in 1885 by Noah Kellogg. Initially, the ore was shipped out of the Silver Valley by train for processing; but within a few years, mills had been built on-site to extract the metals from the ore. The process used by the first mills, known as "jigging", was very inefficient, often recovering less than 75% of the metal from the ore. This meant that large amounts of lead and other metals remained in the tailings, which were simply dumped in nearby waterways.[2] A cadmium processing facility was added to the smelter in 1945, which recovered high-grade cadmium from the smelter's waste products.[3]
