Bill, the caps in the 2nd and 3rd pics seal the lead in the conduit. 14” of 1 1/4” EMT created 9 lbs. weights.
The eye has a 2.5" shank. I double nutted a washer at the tip of the shank to act as an anchor in the lead. It's not coming out. I also JB Welded the caps on both ends so it should be water tight.
I thought I'd try this simple stick weight build. Having some old lead around, these weights are only about $10/each out of pocket.
First time melting lead:...
