Shipment of 60 lbs. of lead bars.
In woodworking when I need to apply weight over a larger area I commonly use lead weight to press materials being glued together. On a project I’m working on my stockpile of lead was insufficient to do the job so I contacted a lead casting buddy and asked if he had any surplus to sell. He offered up a lot of 180 pounds of the dull metal that had been cast with antimony [and therefore was not useful for his ultra hard cast product] at 30% over spot–which in such small amounts is a really good price. I took possession of the first shipment yesterday (about 60 lbs).
Another shipment arrived. Check out the pictures here:
