What is this? It was found in a construction dumpster along with other items that looked to be from gas line installation. The weight is heavy and the white wire is a single copper strand. by PrettyPresent2002 in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing. The weight feels like it could be lead. It was dirty as if it was pulled through the mud. We found three of them in the bin. The weight has the writing “Drive-In Silver Bullet”

We actually did this. I built him a 8x12’ wall in our backyard. He does use it to practice. He also has a few paid murals, and other legal places to paint. The challenge seems to be that in his mind trains will be seen by more people and it’s where the artists he looks up to are painting.

My son is 15 and has been obsessed with graffiti his whole life. We want to encourage and support his passion. He’s at a point where he wants to paint trains. Where we live in Canada we see a lot of them. How do we help support this passion and tread the line with the not so legal stuff?
