Better Get Building! Hot MetalYou can make ballast blocks by pouring molten lead into moulds carved into blocks of wood. The moulds need to be tapered so you can get the lead out again, but more importantly the wood should be as dry as possible: damp wood will make the lead spit back, and hot lead will cause serious burns. Be warned, then, and protect yourself with thick leather gloves and safety goggles at the very least. If you have any doubts about casting lead weights, you can make up blocks by cutting sheet lead into small pieces and gluing them together. If you need some lead sheet, try scrounging it from your friendly local roofi ng contractor.
