Our club is going to have to de-lead our range this year. We have decided that to do it by hand will take to long and probably kill some of the older guys.
Does anybody have any pictures, drawings or suggestions for any sort of suitable mechanical device for doing it? I have seen some machines in Machine Mart but we need to do it cheaply. I had thought about a hired petrol cement mixer with a suitably sized mesh secured over the front. Fill it, switch it on and point it down the way so sand falls out and lead is left inside?
Any other suggestions?

Re: De-leading a range
What is the scrap value of a typical gallery range when it is de-leaded?
