Gym weights is a commonly suggest alternative, but there have been
plenty of reports of voids, and hard spots as its the cheapest cast they
can get to stay together.  If they are free and you are bored it makes a
nice Saturday afternoon project, but I wouldn't go seek them out.

Having a wood stove to anneal it and using HSS lathe bits and endmills that I can resharpen lets me risk mystery metal. My lathe chucks are all on purchased backplates, though I'd consider gym weight iron for a slow moving rotary table chuck adapter.
