I am legally blind, my right eye has been removed, my left eye has a nickel sized spot of undnaged retina, enough that I can’t see a full profile semi coming at me at 150’so Inhave no field of view on my right side. I shoot using perifical vision_
Earlier this week I was running my 25 MMpmold to shoot out of my new TJ barreled Kral Bighorn.
I have been casting for 55 years now and have gotten lead splatters now and then, but this week I really got cooked. I of course wear a heavy leather coat and gloves and eye protection and a 12 inch floor fan blowing onto me.
I decided to check my spruce plate tightness and removed my right glove to pick-up a Allen wrench. My ladle was in the pot full of iead, as I pivoted to the left, I lost sight of the ladle handle, brought my hand down on it and poured a iadles worth of moltened lead on the top of my thumb behind the web of my thumb. I monthly catch my hand on the push lever of my coffee pot, sometimes spilling it sometimes not, but nothing like this.
Instantly my neighbors were blinded by the flashing red light of my asshole throbbing in and out.
I got it under a faucet of cold running water and avoided a 3rd degree burn, but days later it is shedding skin and still burns.
When my adult children visit and look at their blind fathers cashing furnace, they shutdder but know nothing they can say will stop me from pouring bullets.
Be safe out there,

......... try some natural honey on the burn.
, instructions and even with the iPad the forum is getting hard to read, and typo’s harder to correct. Frustrating when you realize I love to write and have written two books.
