About 7000 pound of scrap lead (in the buckets) collected over about a year from the scrap metal house, melted in a steel pot over a large propane burner and molded into bars of about 10 pounds each these will be plastered into the hollow keel. More expensive, but will give me a lower center of gravity than the boiler punchings and cement mix specified in the plans. About 3/4 of the total lead bars have alread been formed here.
