I often have to place clamps holding items down to the table. I can put the items on a cornor and clamp three cornors but getting the fourth was always a problem .So I made some "blocks to hold the items above the table so I could put clamps from the top to bottom. They are simply two pieces screwed into a "T" shape. The best part is all you have to do is remove the screw and the pieces can be stacked until needed again.Now I can place clamps from top to bottom with no problems

That is what I have 4 Lead bricks for. They have been so useful so many times I can't begin to count.

Lew,
I have three lead bricks just like that and several round ones. The bricks weigh 25 lbs. each. I also have used them immeasurable times.

I don't have a good enough scale to weigh them but they are HEAVY . These were from the shielding for a scintillation counter at Los Alamos years ago. I can only pick up one at a time.

If you have a plain bathroom scale, you can weigh them. Weigh yourself, then weigh yourself again holding one of them. The difference is the weight of the bar.

I used to also use lead blocks to weigh down pieces until one time when I did not have my steel toed work boots on and dropped one on my toe wearing tennis shoes. It killed the growth area of the toe nail so now instead of growing longer, the toe nail just grows thicker and every 16 to 18 months falls off and a new one starts.

I would call a toe truck! (Sorry)
