scrap yard. We used to get a 5 gal bucket of tire weights from the scrap yard till oneday one the guys there ask what we were doing with it. He said yall don't want that. Too much trouble. He gave us a 50lb lead block. They melt the tire weights down & get the steel clips out & pour them into blocks. Much easier!
