Is there any interest in 1/4" x 1/2" x 1.5" tungsten weights? I was thinking of having a small batch made. I am getting quotes but I expect them to be about $6-$10 for 4oz.

you mean $6-10 per ounce for 4 oz, right? Are they sintered or solid? Can they make them 1/4 x 1/2 x 1.75?

Yes, these are custom pieces so they can make them any size we want. I'm getting these made in China where I've gotten K10 grade tungsten for about $65/kg. It would actually be 3.75 oz for $6-$10 or $1.6-$2.6/oz. I'm still waiting on quotes though.
If it is just tungsten, two of those would weigh 4.88 oz or 138 grams. Don't you think that is too heavy?? I'm getting a price on straight tungsten also.

He only wants one block behind the axles for each of his cars.
I want some tungsten!
There Are a couple of shapes that I have in mind.
I will send you an email later today.

 Here are two quick ideas... Drawing these tungsten shapes reminds me of the technical drawings from Hudsucker Proxy. |

Pythagoras! The guy that loved triangles!
Hudsucker Proxy! He invented the hula hoop! A non distinctive technical drawing!

Yep... looks like TX Chemist is in the tungsten business.
I hope that Gary Russo doesn’t get his phone number.

So the the 1 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/4" blocks are $6.25 but shipping is another $6 FedEx from China.
