I’m not sure bringing your wife’s weight into things is super beneficial long term, for your health?
Good idea, but not thick enough for me to make tool holders for my lathe.

Well I would first try to figure out what it is - it may be a chunk of cast. If its not cast it is probably mild steel. Tool holders for a lathe are one thing, you can also make with it more interesting stuff for your mill - if your mill is large enough to handle it - like some kind of angle plate. Or keep it for future - it will come in very handy some day.
That sofa you sleep on a lot...is it comfortable?
Let's have a forum build of a giant trebuchet. This can be the counterweight.
I have Multifix B tool holders.
I did some grinding on it to start cleaning it up and I am pretty sure it is mild steel. I was thinking of using my mill to flatten it and square it up and maybe make a small surface plate out of it. Right now I am using on my hydraulic press as a base.

What kind of pussy trebuchet are you talking about? The one's I build use a 45gal drum of water as a counterweight
Flinging water melons, and cantaloupe etc and almost hitting that second bail LOL

If you can't think of anything else it would make a great base weight for a grinder.
