Ok so just about any thing can be made into a record weight.
In my case, I come across a lot of plumbing type fittings and other
parts from costly fixtures etc. Most of which I just toss.
Recently I have been on the lookout for things that might lend them selfs
to my objective, a record weight that looks as if it was manufactured
for that purpose.
Here I have an example that turned out better than it started out.
Parts used were a brass test cap form a wall mounted faucet,
and an optional escutcheon base, and the filings from brass impellers,
thats another story.
So put these together with some slow set epoxy and paint, and you
have a color matching record weight that works rather well.
