If I wanted to get a small block of lead to weigh something down, say about 150-300 lbs, where would you suggest to get one? I'd like it to be a solid rectangular block if possible.

You are not likely to find a single block that heavy, at least not that anybody can ship. You can get pigs (cut in half) which weigh around ~52 each, or bags of shot to fill a rectangular box. They also make smaller rectangular blocks you can stack.

Have to be lead? If not how about boxes of cents?

Solves two problems, storage and weight.

you could always get tire weights and melt them and then pour your own bar

Things like forklifts and other warehouse-esque equipment often has big lead weights in them - you could talk to your local scrap yard.

I think I just found the next product Copper Cave needs to offer

Are they door stops?

I made a door stop out of copper pennies filling up a jug or jar, two quart jar works for this heavy door I'm dealing with usually I'd just use a box of pennies. Wow, Mercury that's some heavy stuff. http://www.coyotesteel.com/assets/img/P ... icfoot.pdf
