You can also find instructions for making the 'P' weight on
http://www.cisatlantic.com/trimix/vweight/pweight.htm

I went to the thrift store and snagged a stainless steel pan and used my
propane forge (but a propane cooker will work too) to melt the lead and pour
it into my stainless steel backplate. Just get it so it is about the
consistancy of water and pour slowly, and wear appropriate protective gear.
Be carefull on the handle since sometimes they are soldered on, and the heat
will melt the handle off, or weaken it. It would be bad to suddenly drop
8lbs of liquid lead all over the place.
