Well, actually much cheaper to make them myself; basically just the raw material cost of the stainless steel and threaded rod - I haven't actually paid for it all yet but I would guess approx $60. Compared to over $120 for less weights (and not stainless) from a telescope/accessories distributor. ... and yes, nothing beats doing it yourself if possible!!
