   The Balance: We got some flat steel and saw off  80mm from it then clean up the saw marking.
   Next, you then rub on some engineers blue on one side then you make/cut whatever shape you want from the balance but most of the weight has to be at the bottom because then it won't work the way you wanted too.

   The Balance: Draw your shape on a piece of paper that can fit your steel then cut it out and Glue it on your Metal. Then use a Hacksaw/Ban saw to cut out your shape.
   File of the edges to get rid of the things you don't want e.g. saw Marking.
   Now at the top of your Balance where it will be hanging from saw or file a tiny bit of metal out about 5 mm.
