Default HOW2 make or WHERE2 buy....a kellet ?

Make one yourself
Lead casting is not hard (melt the lead 'outside' to avoid the toxic
fumes) A coleman stove will be adequate. use and old cooking pot
(discard the pot when done). Get your lead from an automotive tire
store - buy the used balance weights.
Make a mold using an 'instant concrete mix ', use ;just enough' water
to make a very dry mix, then put in an oven to completely dry the mold
- the mold has to be *completely dry" when pouring in molten metal..
Use solid stainless eye screws for the attachments.'through' the
casting.
