Just taken up Scuba Diving and was alarmed at the price of the weight

source of about 20kg of lead shot? Cheapest I've found is £89
delivered.

lead has to be one of the easiest metals to work with, so why not make your
own?
you can melt scrap lead in any old saucepan and pour it into moulds made
from sand.
It's easily cut (for the slots etc and finished with a wire brush to remove
excess


I'd wager that a large portion of the £89 you've been quoted is for
delivery.
