if you are ever passing by york guns they have a few in.
-
if its mars or snickers then wire it to the trap as I have had mice steal the bait without springing the trap!

these could be just the job for a temp fixing, http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p12620
used some to secure a tyre changer to the floor and they have taken some steel bending strain!
-
How should you check them before you leave the shop??
More before you put them in the gun, some are so bad they are clearly wrong uns but some are a bit off on the wads and stick as they go in and will jam the gun.
-
nope but check them if you find any, quality is a bit iffy!
-
I got some like that for my satellite dish and they pulled straight out under load, if its a brick or block wall get some resin and rod. 10mm or 12 if your going all out!

What the pros have been uing round me, chippies had a ms171, oak frame company had a pair of ms181s and the tree guys were bucking with a ms171 the other day and they rated them as a great little saw for light work, still had 361s ect for the main work.
so lower end stihl is still doing the rounds, I had a few 017s and for the money they were pretty good.

aldi had engravers/multitool for £12.99 the other week and they are great!
-
if its driftwood it may well contain alot of salt so test a small out of the way area incase there is a reaction.
-
you might have to drill more than one pan fot that much
-
-
It might take a couple of goes to get it running right but once going its really easy, the key factors are the amount of lead in the pot and the constant temp if either of these go wayward it all goes wrong. im going off casting big ingots as they lower the temp too much and take forever to melt and then there is too much lead so smaller "medals" might be the way forward! hope it works out its worth it just for a bit of fun if nothing else.

Ihave added some pewter to the lead which helped it flow.
The heat comes from a 7" boiling ring and simmerstat or energy regulator to control it, really simple to wire up and works spot on. The heating element was placed in a bored out thermalite block so the pan sits firm and gets maximum heat into the lead.

I love those old drawings! I tried with the ramp under the conditioner and found it was cooling too quick and not forming round balls, when it had about a inch to roll down the ramp to form and then into the conditioner seemed to work best for me. The adjustable flow is very interesting and something I want to work on for a mk2 big dropper but thats a way off.
-
Thanks for the positive comments, the ramp is a offcut of pine, I also used a bit of laminate floor but it went up in flames as it was a bit close to the ring! I tried steel, non stick baking tray and copper slipped steel and they all sticked I think due to them having no heat in them which is why I think in the rusian vid he used hot water to keep the ramp warm but not tried that out yet. The wood does not even need too be fine sanded or matter if its wet or dry, you can splash conditioner all over it and it makes no difference!
I will have a look in aldi this week, I was going to get some drill bits and make some sorters but if these might work it will save a bit of time.
-
Ssshhh! it was from asda, £3 each so inluding the heating ring and simmerstat was all done for under £20
-
bit more posh than my pan with hole in it! looking good.
-
Time to get out the ole yellow pages and search for those suppliers that have been evicted from the hight street and forefront to units in industrial estates for all your goodies, more of a pain finding them but better service and you know you are supporting a local independant company.
-
Had another go today and got a new pan as the pie dish had burnt though! not bad results and got some really nice round shot. only difficult bit was drilling the hole which is a 0.75mm and it puts out shot sizes from 8-6 depending on temp.
-
I have made a shotmaker but had nothing but problems with it so I decided to have a go with the pan with a hole punched in it onto a wooden ramp to conditioner and it resulted in a full bottle of 6-8 shot mostly round and not too bad for a prototype bodge! waste was approx 1/4 kg to what must be 10kg of shot.

basics to look for, the recorder or dvr, the total number of frames per second. its no good having really good cameras and to have a slow frame rate or rubbish quality playback. night vision or low light quailty, the latest sony cameras are amazing and well worth the money there will be others that are good but I have not tested them yet! also additional ir illuminators or security lights are handy.
Cameras will do 2 things 1 give a wide coverage to see whats going on but you will never get a good face/number plate off it or you can have a narrow field of veiw and get good detail but it needs to be in the right place.
Do you want the system to be a deterent or covert?
A small 3.5" monitor is handy to have where yo spend most of the time so you can keep a eye on things.
Most scumbags are not too bothered by cameras these days as they just go hood up but if you can see a few hoodies hanging around then odds on they are up to no good and you can call the rozzers in!
