Home-cooked spline weights-In
ww
#72, p. 18, you de
scr ibed how to melt lead on a gas gr ill to make spline weight s,
bu t you sh ou ld have st ressed th e hazards of melt ing lead a bit
more th oroughly. Th e health considerations involved with
melt ing and cast ing lead ar e so gr ave th at ou r com pany discon
tinu ed all lead oper at ions sever al years ago. One of th e easiest
ways of contract ing heavy metal poisoning is th e inh alation of
lead um es. Lead melt s at approxim at ely 62 0° F and doesn't boil
until 3, 16 4° F; however, it does fum e at remark ably low tem
per at ur es, depending on a variet y of circum stances. A per son
work ing with lead over a back yard barbecu e will be exposed to
lead fum es about th e sam e way a per son sitt ing ar ou nd a camp
ir e will be exposed to wood sm ok e. Th ere ar e also addit ional
hazards involved in th e pour ing of th e molt en material.
Lead is an industr ial metal th at is alloyed with a gr eat many
ot her metals, and each alloy has
.
it s own ch ar act er ist ics as to
melt ing temper at ures, boiling temper at ures and toxicity, so us
ing scr ap material can really be opening up th e possibility for a
nu mber of addit ional danger s.
It is possible to do th is type of lead cast ing safely, bu t it takes
a great deal of care and trouble, wh ich is a big part of th e reason
wh y th e cast weight s ar e so expensive to bu y. I th ink a per son
might be bett er of pu rchasing these weight s and devot ing his
time and money- saving efort s to any one of th e ot her excellent
ar ticles your magazine ofer s. -Thomas J Walz

hand tools, power tools, clam ps, bit s, bolts, et c., ar e ch eck ed in

and it seems th is idea of being responsible for your own tools
can apply to ot her sh ops: Used sh ipping containers might be
