A good paper weight should also make a handy, impromptu weapon.
heavy paperweight? where to find?

Well, if we're going to get into personal mementos , I could donate the top of a piston from a Continental O470, broken off at the oil ring groove, and cleaned and polished, weighs ~2lbs.. Used as an ashtray for too many years. Will clean up nicely in the dishwasher....
If you want granite or marble, you go to a stone supplier, find the perfect stone for your paperweight, and tell the salesperson you would like a sample so you can see how it will look against the decor of your kitchen, bathroom, wherever. Then they hammer you off a piece and you're done. This happens all the time with decorators.
Nice big speaker magnet is useful for organizing pens and paper clips and making cool patterns on CRT monitor.
Speaker magnets also work great for sticking floppy disks to the fridge.
Slow news day......
I'm gonna use it to put on top of my external DAC, 'cause it's too small and light; putting a weight on top of it will keep it from sliding away due to the weight of the cables attached to it.
I got that tile-coaster and it works fine...for now...i wish it was heavier and nice looking though.
thanks guys.
old mopar guy: I still would like to have that piston top...how much do you think it will cost to ship? I will pay for s/h if it isn't too much.

Probably in a box out in the workshop somewhere. I throw a whole bunch of stuff away several years ago. Hope I didn't include it. I'll look around. I still owe another bitoger a promised piece of fine junque...
Thanks, man...look around and let me know when/if you get a chance.
