The Lead Weight.
Hi TL,
A much easier solution, is to find some Sheet Lead. Drill the hole, not to big, & say ½" in.
You then need a Wad Punch, place on some Timber, & wallop out quite a few Round Lead Pieces.
Most likely to Tamper them in with a bit of Dowel & Loctite 401 Super Glue as you go.
You only need 1 / 2 drops.
If you use a Felt Bottom, then you are hiding something.
Quite easy to make a small disc to fill the hole, Sand.
This Project could be ready for Nunawading 2014.Regards,
issatree.

Doesn't have to be a gunsmith, most gun shops sell lead shot, no gun licence required.
In fact I went to our local gun shop because I needed some for a dead blow mallet, they gave me what I needed free of charge!

TL, these guys', ('Consolidated Alloys', links below), head office is in Thomastown. They supply both lead shot in 10kg boxes and lead wool in 3kg bundles. Might be worth a ring or an email. (There's an enquiry form on their 'Contact' page.):
Consolidated Alloys :: Lead Wool
Consolidated Alloys :: Lead Shot
Edit: They also have lead discs, if they're more suitable, here:
Consolidated Alloys :: Lead Washers and Discs... Steve

Looking really good so far.
I don't have enough experience for anything advanced yet, but I sure like watching others do it.
Yeah, 10kg of lead shot might be overkill. The 3kg bundles of lead wool are probably the better option. You'll have some left over for future projects.
I might buy some myself - I wanted to make some tall, slim candle holders with relatively narrow bases. Some lead would help keep them upright. (Sort of important with candle holders.)
Fingers crossed they'll get back to you favourably. Let us know how you go.... Steve
