After an extended summer break, our Aluminum Beer Can Melting Guild held an impromptu meeting down at the lake over the weekend. We managed a quorum by allowing Kevin’s cat, Snowball, to take a stump and join us.
This was the first meeting of
the guild since spring. Mostly, the
meeting provided us with an opportunity to refresh our skills and burn the
summer dust off the guild’s equipment and “safety-third” gear.
We melted down only twenty or
thirty cans in the campfire on our first run, but completed a flawless pour of
aluminum in the end.
Posted are two photographs from
the meeting. I am also sharing a video
of Tad making the first official pour.
