This was a big blue cube that i found at a store. I drilled a hole in it, ground it down with a dremel and polished it.

It’s still scratched up and kinda lumpy but it’s a good weight and it looks cool. (Sorry for the bad pics)

It feels good. It’s a good weight and it’s smooth to the touch.

I think it cost $1.99

I used a buffer attachment on the dremel. Then i used 400 grit sand paper then steal wool.
