As a hobby, I like to fire my pellet rifle. However, the pellets are made from lead and I get lead dust on my fingers and wherever else I touch. We live in a day where society has been educated in the toxicity of lead poisoning. I came up with a simple solution to this problem. I made a "Pellet Plucker". If you're like me... this project might be of use for your similar situation. "Ready....Aim.... Let's Build"!
