Careful with that smelting and buying moulds. ......next thing ya know you'll have 1000# piled up and a mould for every gun or 3-2.

The only reason I had Larry over was to get him to do the dirty work for me. Besides there are very few folks who will put up with my ornery ugly dog ......or me. :? :roll:

Larry remember to wash your hands. Not so much because of the dross from smelting but that mean rotten dog stinks. LOL. The only reason Lisa like the dog is because she's learn to put up with you and me. :lol:
An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

When setting a job up for myself it must be Idiot Proof as well, as I am a bigger idiot than most people I know, and I prove it to myself everyday.
