Basically, I want to build a go cart, pedalled by two people with an electirc motor optional. Any advice appricatited. BTW, just how dangerous/hard is welding? I plan to get a few lessons and then get a welder. I will use this as my personal thread to post how it goes.

To anyone who has a welder and any ability, if you could weld me a crucible I'd be more than greatful and would be happy to trade something in return for it (cough I got lots of surplus PVC). I'm not wanting anything fancy, just a steel pipe with a couple of hooks, for aluminium casting. I can send the specs I want to you if you are interested. Just PM me, thanks

I bought a bunch of large candles a year or so ago, think large white night lights. I took one out tonight, intending to use it for lost wax casting. I took it out it's silver casting, where to my surprise there was a layer of white wax (paraffin) that you saw when you looked at while it was in it's casing. Below the white layer, there was a light browny layer for most of the depth of the candle. Further inspection of this layer reveals it is greasier than the normal paraffin wax, and it also is softer and has a strange smell. Is this layer tallow? I hope not, as I have a fair weight of it.

Anyone with ideas please help.

Anyone tried selling glowsticks at a bonfire? A friend and I are gonna try doing it, we've got a bunch of 200mm glowsticks. Anyone who knows anything about selling them, how much is a good price to charge? How many can a couple of guys expect to sell at an event with about 10k people? What's the best way to sell them? Stand around wearing a high vis jacket? Shout out offering them? Hold a big bunch of shining glowsticks in your hand? How much cash should we take as a float? Should we put cash in a bucket? In a money belt?

Just wondering if anyone who shoots Cat 4 stuff could help me. I'm curious as to how much individual shells actually cost? I'm sure your aware hearing about X show cost 10k etc, but how much per shell? I'm sure it varies as the shell size changes, but does it also vary alot between different effects? Are they bought in the uk? Do you get them from china? Do you buy shells individually or in boxes/crates? Do you buy them, or do the people you're firing for buy them? Do you select shells in advance for particular shows or it their just a set amount you get for a show that will cost X?
