A gem of the internet I remember from 15+ years ago when using AOL via telephone modem. When I was a teenager I bought some of the trinitite and uranium ore samples. Mailed them cash since that's all most teens had back then.

Site still looks very much the same as it did other than a mobile friendly version available. Great source for various odds and ends. Especially for home science projects.

Any example ideas of interesting projects?
He used to have a guide on how to make uranium hexafluoride, UF6, aka "yellow cake". I assume he was "encouraged" to take it down
I think you must have meant on making UF6 from yellow cake. Yellow cake and UF6 are not at all the same thing.
