Mom held her patterns down with the green-glass salt shaker and other
things found in the kitchen.  I used to use books.  Today, I went into
the garage and brought back a six-volt, four amp-hour battery with a
sticker on the side that says "brick".

I've never used bricked batteries from the uninterruptible power
supplies as pattern weights, but they are great for flattening things.

I have some lead donuts that work very well.  I suspect a UPS battery
owrks great.

I use a set of Brass imperial kitchen weights as they are obsolete for  
actual weighing.
