    Pouring 8 tons of lead

    Pouring a 17,000 # lead ballast keel. You can skip to minute 20 to see the actual pour. The two previous vids (117 and 118) show the making of the plug and mold.

    I have been enjoying this also. They attempted another pour, back around EP 101, that did not go so well. Search YouTube for "Lead-pouring disaster (Rebuilding Tally Ho EP101)". It is a long, 40+ minute video, but you can jump ahead to about 20-25 minutes..
