Easy and cheaper glandes.

can buy 45 teardrop 50gram fishing weights on amazon for about 50 usd, then buy a hammer (preferably with one end being flat nose and the other a round nose), as well as any basic wood chisel to cut the brass tips off. Then just start hammering, its super easy. I made my first in about 10 minutes and the 2nd in about 6, so it is relatively fast. I also sharpen the tips on regular cement sidewalks and works great for a little better penetration. Heres a pic.
P.S., if anyone knows how to not post a gigantic poc like this, please let me know because I couldnt figure it out.

I use "image resize", an android app. Works really well and is free.
Do you get those flying pointy end first?

I use MS Paint to resize pictures. There's a bit of a procedure so if you need help message me.

those things look positively lethal !
I have a cheap little heat tool I use with 3d prints.
Wonder if it get's hot enough to melt lead.
Or a standard soldering iron. If it does get hot enough you could use it to smooth those out a bit.
I've got some lead, I'll give it a go
