At my appt this morning the Doc told me I could start playing with my toys a little bit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The new melter never dripped once, lead flowed nice an smooth. Poured minnow, ball with/wo collar, Pony and horse head. Just over 500 total, in about 3 hours then the back stiffened up and had to call it quits. Not bad for my first pouring in a year and a half.

Should have quit at 2 hours, a little stiff today but man it just felt so damned good to pour. And the wife didn't have any problem at all with it!!!! She did keep coming out to check on me though LOL.
On the way home from work tommorrow (or maybe sneak out at lunch) gonna stop at PetSmart and check out some aeriaters (sp) and tubing, and home depot for some more cups for my small fluid bed. After dinner I'll trim the sprues , I can do that sitting watching the tube.
If I can get all that stuff it'll be a coin toss between powder painting some heads OR seeing just how bad the tying skills suck from being out of it so long!!!!! BUT, I know gotta slow down - got three months of winter left at least so plenty of time yet.
LOL....Don't try to do it all in one day! I don't know about Vermont, but here in Illinois, January & February are the two longest months of the year!!!! You'll have time to get back in the groove. Just make sure you take care of the body FIRST!!!!
Big Thumbs Up, FM!!!!!!!
I know it's got to be a great feeling to get back at it. I'm very happy for you.
That is great FM to hear you are back at it. Take care!!
I have been hoping that I would hear this from you soon. Super news. Having dealt with injuries before I know how the down time wears on you. You'll be back in the groove in no time. Keep us posted.
Fatman Glad to have you back in the saddle. just pace yourself and you will have no problems. As far as the tying skills it's just like riding a bicycle once you learn you can climb right back on an go any time you want. I would say about one practice jig.

Fatman, I need a couple of them for my collection when you have the opportunity to shake the dust off :).
