I use a five gallon bucket filled with scrap metal and a two gallon bucket filled with quick-crete. Rich's method of duct taping a brick or two would be easy to store. Several good ideas above.

Good for large surface areas is a 50 pound sack of "play" sand. The sack conforms to curved surfaces and is cheap.

Instructions unclear. Do not open the sack.

Good point 8^)

Also, one needs to leave the sand in the sack. Just a sack won't cut it…..

Well if you lived in SE Washington I would say stop by, I have about an eight foot long piece of it I'd give you. Don't know how you would cut it into usable pieces but ,,,, I used it to drag it behind my tractor to level ground…

One of these with an abrasive wheel will cut a piece of track. https://www.stihlusa.com/products/cut-off-machines/professional-cut-off-machines/ts420/?rev=BVSpotlights

I cast my own bullets and have several coffee cans with cast bullets that I use for weights.

I'm not sure how much it would cost but I've seen buckshot "bean bags" used as weights. The cloth is soft and kind of thick, almost like velvet. They can be made as heavy as you need and are flexible.

But I needed to sand it anyway….this saves a step.

I had a weight set and saved about 50 pounds of various discs for use in the shop like under the new wood lathe stand and donated the rest to Goodwill. My wife is happy to see me finally get some use out of them.
