The core of mine is lead, not plutonium.

Very good.

Here's my educated guess:

509.5 lbs

This is my logic:

72/lb of lead eats up about 176.5 cu/in of space (6.53oz per cu/in)

subtract that volume from the concrete that it displaces

176.5 cu/in of concrete weighs about 1.32 oz per cu/in

this leaves us with a net gain of about 57.5 pounds.

Add this to the existing 452lb..

Am I doing it right?

That would be a good guess but the insert came out to 66lbs and was able to get in about 15-20lbs more concrete into the mold than the last one. But yes, you come up with a guess and I'll have it weighed in a few weeks. Also, you need a name to go with your guess.

Broke it out of the mold. So far so good. Looks a lot better than my last stone. Another week to cure, then smooth out the edges and then hopefully weigh it the following week and seal it up.

531lbs - Huffalump

My 550lbs capacity scale arrived yesterday so I'll know how much it weighs later today after I sand down the edge a little.

Too late for a guess?...


I'll say 527, and it should be called...King Ricka.

[Craig Pfisterer]

Stone weighed in at 494.8lbs so it will be known as J Lo.

[jslep]

no one guessed correctly maybe you could call it " Chest Rockwell".
