Look at the engine fan blades in the picture. There is no shield around them
when the sides are open. The sides are unusually raised to run it and when
those blades are spinning, they can't be seen and it's real easy to get your
fingers in there if you poke at something and don't see the fan.
Trust me on this. I just thought I was stupid when it happened to me, but
when my uncle did it too and got hurt way worse than me, I recognized the
safety problem.

Thanks! Ill pay particular attention when I try starting it. Rotating
knife blades turning at 1500 rpm make me nervous when it involves my
fingers.

<G>

Take your basic batch of wheel weight lead..which Brinnels about
9-10..and as you cast each one, dump it into a 5 gal bucket of water.

Measure them again in 3 days for hardness. You will find that they
hardened up to about 21-23 Brinnel and will stay that way for at least 4
yrs.

Dont believe me?

http://www.surplusrifle.com/shooting/alloyhardness/index.asp

http://www.lasc.us/HeatTreat.htm

I cast nearly all my rifle bullets over a 5 gallon bucket of water. I
average Brinell of 21 with basic wheelweights after a couple days and if
I use a Lead/Antimony alloy...I can get up to nearly 35 Brinell.

They will heat treat to 2.5-3.5x the hardness of the unheat treated
metal.

Gunner's right on this one. Ball milling media made from lead alloys is
quench-hardened.

When forming copper sheet and tube I usually heat to visible red and
DON'T quench, the metal seems to be equally soft either way. However
immediate quenching does reduce surface oxidation.

Right. The quenching has no effect on copper and brass, other than it
makes no difference and if you quench you can handle the material
immediately. I suspect the same is true of lead alloys. ie they do
age harden whether one quenches them or not.

Gunner, have you ever not quenched a few bullets and checked the
hardness after a couple of days.

They'll also quench harden if the alloy contains a little antimony. Then
they age soften.

Check out this fairly good writeup:

http://www.tacticoolproducts.com/bullethardness/

I have a friend who is an antique weapons expert -- probably as well versed
on things over 75 years old than all but a small handful of people in the
world. His opinions, which I'd respect more than any web referece, is that
lead can be (surface) hardened by quenching.

You should also investigate that mysterious "weight sticker" thing. 90%
probability you will find that it is not applicable to non-commercial
vehicles.

It's bad that you need a laptop and wireless broadband because the police
don't know the law. I guess it's guilty until proven innocent? I just wish
you could sue the police for trying to impound you because of their mistake,
they need to be held accountable for their actions. They will have to be
more careful and make sure not to pull over people with wireless broadband.

I have a 1 ton pickup truck and always thought it would be nice to have a
large capacity trailer so I could take my forklift with me to a machinery
auction and haul some toys home.

Brock, you do have some ambition with a project like that. Sounds like
your basically re-inventing the wheel. Just my opinion, wouldn't it be
more cost effective & easier in the long run finding an antique wing
dinger & rebuild that? I've seen some pretty cool 2strokes over the
years. You've eliminated all those engineering variables that your
scratching your head about. When done, you have restored piece of
history, & may be $worth$ more that what you have into it? Again thats
just me, I dont like re-inventing the wheel. Some very smart guys
already did that. I like improving that wheel & making it spin faster.
The rotary wrankel engines have always intrigued me. Very simple,
compact, comparable with 2 stroke & can be made w/o a lot of
castings.

Good luck!

Quitting.

As far as American values are going, there is nothing more American in terms of

After all, quitting is what made America be America in the first place. If we
hadn't decided to quit being a part of Britain, where would we be now? Not in

Where is herr shrubbie's HARVARD transcript?
He almost flunked out of Yale even with tutoring,

Nobody seems to want to admit knowing him or doing drugs with him

What right did the liberals have in making killing children a free will
choice? And what right did liberals have in preventing doctors from
informing the patient about the procedure, something the doctor is required
by law to do for other procedures?

So are you saying that anyone has the right to their free will choice? If
someone chooses to kill their child before it is born, it is OK, why not
after it is born? Maybe we should be able to kill our children anytime we
choose as long as they are dependant on us. And let's have equal rights
too, either the mother or the father can kill the child. And no one has the
right to prevent them from doing it?

"Mom, Dad, I graduated college but need to move back home for a while until
I get a job" BANG! from dads 12 gauge, just another late term abortion.

Innocent babies, liberals say "KILL THEM", convicted serial killers,
liberals say "PROTECT THEM".

Enormous, order(s) of magnitude. Consider acetylene dissolved in
acetone:

"At atmospheric pressure and 15 deg. Cent, acetone dissolves 24 times
its volume of acetylene."
