Mike in A-town trapper M Joined: Sep 2013 Posts: 10,404 Northeast Oklahoma	Originally Posted by Nessmuck Nothing like the smell of lead..in the afternoon ! A buddy gave me a chunk of lead once, about 10 pounds worth. Nice and soft, could dent it with my thumbnail. Had a loop of wire sticking out of it. It was a nice day to cast so I set up the furnace out in the carport. Set the chunk of lead in the pot and turned it on... As it warmed up and began to melt down into the pot I was greeted with the smell of hot metal mixed with river muck... Gag! Guess someone had used it as a trotline weight. Glad I did it outside and not in the shop. Mike One man with a gun may control 100 others who have none. Vladimir Lenin
