Lead weights

I made this:

The end mill was very good, it was a 4mm "DLC" coated single-flute end mill from Amazon, no particular name brand, funny blue and yellow coating, cuts well and leaves a good finish. I used an air blast to clear the chips, I should potentially rig something up to automate this instead of standing there using the compressor manually.

I then realised I don't have a convenient way to pour the molten lead so I have ordered a casting ladle from Amazon, should arrive tomorrow.
