Just remember, I'm not unsocial, I just don't like people. I usually don't talk much, but I do read a lot it keeps me out of trouble. Which my mouth, and fingers gets me into. Sometimes I'm more active, sometimes I'm asleep on the job.

Got a short burst on energy, so I went out and backed the MDD outta the middle barn so the Old Hen could get to the closets to put her Xmas stuff up, took the Kubota and fixed the road where the county plow messed it up (he left a six inch ridge of gravel right in front of everyone's driveway), took the ATV out for a quick blast, and then loaded up a 5 gallon bucketful of lead in the FEL. Thought I could just put the bucket down to ground level and roll the lead bucket in. Any idea how much a bucket of lead weighs? Had to unload it a piece at a time 'til I got down to about an eighth of a bucket. It's all in the middle barn now. I figure that's were I'm gonna do my casting this winter.

I usually do my casting outside, but with the way the weather's been, I figure it'll be safer just inside the barn door with the entry door open for ventilation. Don't need rain drops/snow flakes in the molten metal. It's always good for a visit from the tinsel fairy.

5 gallons of lead weighs about 473.2 lbs.

I know I grabbed it to try and sashay it into the bucket and it didn't move an inch. Kinda like pushing a full dressed Harley with a flat tire.

Guess I'm gonna have to work on my curls......

 

[giggy]

Rain, rain, rain all the hell it has done all damn day.

 

[Hippie420]

Better than what they got south west of ya. 'Naders all over the place.

Approximately 546 pounds
A 5-gallon bucket of lead would weigh approximately 546 pounds1. One cubic inch of lead weighs 6.5 ounces1. The weight of 1 US gallon of lead is approximately 94.6 pounds2. The density of liquid lead is 10,650 kg/m³

With your lungs why not hire someone to melt and cast for you?
Seriously lead is the le=ast thing you need to add to the mix
Well ventilated and GOOD respirator at least.

Water weighs 0.0361 lbs per cubic inch. The specific gravity of lead is 11.35 https://www.engineersedge.com/thermodynamics/specific_gravity.htm

There are 231 cubic inches per gallon.

0.0361 lb/in3 X 11.35 x 231 X 5 gallons =473.243925 lbs.

Who would not agree with you
I'm sure the lead was also loosely packed in the bucket made mostly of bar stock
Thus allowing more air voids in between, not as iif molten lead filled the bucket completely.
