hitch in the plan...

Caught a new calf down in Study Butte getting some run time in.  Pretty easy to catch Carl enjoying dirt.  Nice clear sky today but couldn't coax more than 1200° out of the fresnel lens.  I need at least 1700° to melt and get a good pour out of some sterling silver.  Went ahead and did a second nugget (31 g) with the propane.  A bit tricky to fill a one ounce graphite mold without a lot of heat...still working on my stamping skills.  The search continues for a reliable method and materials sources.  90,102,46,0,B,0
