Can I see a picture of what a thousand pounds of lead actually look like I'm kind of thinking bigger than a breadbox
About .4lbs a sq/inch?Not much bigger.
Pure lead is so dense that one cubic foot of it would weigh 708 pounds.

So, a box that is 12" tall, 12" deep, and 18" long would have 1.5 cubic feet of volume.
If it were filled with lead, it would weigh 1,062 pounds.
Yeah, it would be bigger than a breadbox.
It would be the size of a counter-top microwave.

I guessed .Yep, 0.41 lb. per sq. inch.
(That's what the conversion tables say. I didn't run the math myself. Just Googled it.)
