I use a bowling ball, hole already drilled.
Anyone use a hockey puck as a record weight?
I was thinking about this after looking for Dallas Stars tickets...
A standard puck is one inch thick (25.4 mm), three inches in diameter (76.2 mm) and weighs between 5.5 and 6 ounces (156-170 g). However, a number of variations on the standard black, 6 oz (170 g) hockey puck exist.
One of the most common is a blue, 4 oz (113 g) puck that is used for training younger players who are not yet able to use a standard puck. Heavier 10 oz (283 g) training pucks, typically reddish pink or reddish orange in color, are also available for players looking to develop the strength of their shots or improve their stick handling skills. Players looking to increase wrist strength for better stickhandling often practice with steel pucks which weigh 2 lb (900 g).
(Thanks, Wikipedia, for the above information.)
I figure *someone* has drilled a hole in the center of one of these pucks and used them on a turntable.
Note - I did a quick search over at the Asylum, and this idea is not as original as I first thought. Thought I'd post it anyways.
