[QUOTE="JMichael, post: 407170, member: 7544"] BTW, if you continue to make them with wood molds, soak the two halves in a bucket of water over night and the lead will set quicker and the boards will last longer. If you decide to make some flat ones, use a forstner bit and drill your hole in the flat side of the board about 3/8 deep. Lay your loop in and pour your lead. Edit: When I was a kid, we'd make our own weights using pop bottle caps as our molds. They weren't big enough for really fast water, but they were reasonably flat and worked pretty good. BTW I checked on ebay and there are a wide variety of size and type molds ranging from 10 to 30 bucks. There are some more expensive also. [/QUOTE]
