Anybody make their own weights?

same here, make my own 2# weights, most of them turn out real nice.  I use old wheel balancing weights.  I use an acetylene torch and an old deep fry pan to melt the lead in, scrape off the junk, and pour the molten lead into the mold.  I soot up the mold so that it releases a bit easier but it is still a bit of a of trick to get the mold the right temp for a clean cast and easy removal of the weight.
