If you like this, check out what else this kid has built. I like the one where he took 4 single cylinder Briggs engines and put them all together to form one 4 cylinder engine. A bit crude, but still neat! Kevin In a message dated 1/28/2017 9:58:46 P.M. Central Standard Time,

Re: KR> Melting lead

You are allowed to expose yourself to lead if you choose. I think most of us have, including me on numerous occasions. But after watching a friend's illness with lead poisoning from bead blasting aircraft cylinders IN a bead blasting cabinet, I don't work with lead anymore without adequate

Re: KR> Melting lead

I used an electric melting pot when I was doing a bunch of reloading.  If you want to keep the lead "clean", drop some parafin on top the hot lead and stir it and it make the junk float off.  WATCH OUT.  Sometimes it will FLASH OFF.   Face shield and gloves should be mandatory for protection.

Re: KR> Melting lead

I have melted lead many times on the stove and I think all my brain cells remain intact. You're melting it, not boiling it, so the amount getting into the air is insignificant. Obviously don't ever use the pot again for food. A tin can sounds like a good idea. Mike Taglieri On Jan 28, 2017

When it was time for my exhaust on the KR I Talked to a local muffler shop and then loaded it up on a trailer and took it to them.  He said he would be glade to do it because it was something different. It only cost me $350 and everything fit. It was not stainless and I did have it wrapped and

Re: KR> Melting lead

Tin can, fishing weights, wheel weights, propane stove, torch, it's all good. I found the led does not stick to aluminum so I took a u channel to form the sides and a thin piece of aluminum that I shaped to form the front and back and fit it in the u channel. I taped the outside which will burn

Re: KR> 4-into-1 exhaust system help?

I gave up trying to find an exhaust system that even vaguely resembles what I have on N891JF. I'm going to have to build another one that replicates it, unless I want to remove the engine, completely reconfigure the firewall and intake system, etc. Building a new system, as painful as that

I feel like I cheated... I borrowed a lead melting kit from one of my plumbing contractors. If i remember correctly it was a small cast iron laddle with a pour lip on top of a stand of some sort with a propane torch with a larger flame head underneath. It only took several minutes to get it
