Home-made test weight

Howdy folks,

I remember seeing instructions for making an Epee test weight without buying it, but I can't find them on the board.

Anyone care to share a good recipe for a home-brew weight? I'm ready to just tinker on one, but I imagine there are some good suggestions out there.

-Pep

For those without a machine shop, the ones I have seen is take a end cap from a pipe, drill 2 holes for a string and attach a 750ml plastic bottle. Fill it up at a tournament and empty it when traveling to save weight.
