[demarc]

Hey All,

Been going through some family stuff atm, so been a bit quiet. First task is to get the sinker night organised!

Where: Bethania (A.K.A B-Town)

When: 1600 onwards, 26th of August

Will have a BBQ later on. Have a nice firepit to cook on, or a BBQ. Once we get some numbers can organise food. Anyone getting on the piss is welcome to stay the night. Reply to this thread if you'd like to come along. I'll PM folks who reply with my mobile and address. Anyone is welcome to come along. Will also give us a good chance to finalise details for 1770.

Cheers!

Haha  Its the beer BBQ and fire that has me most excited... a fish chat is always welcome.

Did you get any reds?

The long range forecast is settling really good so hopefully we will get out to the reefs as soon as we get up there.

[straddiebrad]

[straddiebrad]

was a good night but i did feel a bit crook when i got home and a bit when i woke thinking from the fumes from the lead

 

 

[demarc]

Cheers for the good night fellas. Poor sinker pot didn't handle the heat too well. Ended up with two pin hole leaks and started to mould to the mount it was on.

Lots of left over lead we'll use at 1770 to make more sinkers. You'll be charged for the fumes next time Brad.

Hi all,

          Looks like you's had a profitably night.

Was that pot alloy, looked like it.

I use a cast iron camp oven to break down my lead.

, just a cheap one from a camping store.

Pour that into ingots ( LEE ones.) and then put into my LEE electric pot to make

bullets and sinkers..

Always do it outside to keep the fumes away.

Looked like a good night.

  Cheers

  Gary.

Thanks Julian for the night it was a good night. 

It was good to catch up with everyone and also meet meet Brad, Tugger & Brock. 

Would have been a long night if Lances burner hadn't fired up. 

Getting closer by the day

and i learnt a few more swear words in the process  the lead in the tube was the worse

 

[tugger]

That looks wild boys I will bring my little camp oven next time for the melting pot

[Angry51]

tugger, I'm guessing you know once you've put lead in your

camp oven it'll no good for cooking in.

Only use mine for melting lead only.

  Cheers

[aussie123]

That's awesome Brad, thanks mate.

Can you bring the burner and that lead to 1770 with you.
