- avn2109 1y agoThis is the HN comment I didn't know I needed.
- dreamcompiler 1y agoMidwest Tungsten sells a 1.5" cube (1 kg) for $200. I have one, as well as a magnesium cube of the same size. They look identical but the Mg cube weighs 1/10 as much. It's fun to let someone hold the W cube to feel the weight and then toss them the Mg cube with "Here, catch!" https://shop.tungsten.com/tungsten-cube/ https://shop.tungsten.com/tungsten-cube/
- acjohnson55 1y agoI want that 7" cube, but $35k is well out of my price range. Where'd you get the magnesium cube?
- degamad 1y agoNot sure where they got it from, but the same folk have https://shop.tungsten.com/magnesium-cube/ https://shop.tungsten.com/magnesium-cube/
- radicality 1y agoI have both too! It’s a really fun talking piece when I have friends over.
- FuriouslyAdrift 1y agoBroken tungsten carbide drill bits are a much cheaper way to get dense weights (I made a running vest one time) if you can find a machine shop or online, etc.
- iterance 1y agoYes, tungsten. Oops
