Hidare All,,, Merry Christmas... Just had to say that.. ~¿~ I know we are not supposed to post pictures,, so if anyone is interested in a Picture of a very accurate homemade scale,, just send your email address... I weighed over 40 pounds of sand to within one teaspoon. It is a balance scale, so if you are going for an absolute number of pounds, instead of comparing relative weights, you will need to come by some counter poise weights. I just use rolls of pennies, 1983 or newer. A roll of 1982 and older pennies weigh one oz. more than a roll of 1983 and newer...take a file to the edge of a newer penny,,, they are not copper. The cost of this scale is way less than $3. And you no doubt have the stuff to make it. So it is free= you don't have to spend more money.... Oh,, and I cleaned up my work shop just to take this picture,,,,, YEAH ,, RIGHT,,,, with PhotoPaint..!! And My Wife says I can't get anything done sitting at the computer.... ô¿ô bill -------------- next part -------------- <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <META content="MSHTML 5.50.4134.100" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Hidare All,,, Merry Christmas...</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Just had to say that.. ~¿~</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I know we are not supposed to post pictures,, </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>so if anyone is interested in a Picture of a</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>very accurate homemade scale,, just send </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>your email address...</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I weighed over 40 pounds of sand to within</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>one teaspoon.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>It is a balance scale, so if you are going for</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>an absolute number of pounds, instead of</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>comparing relative weights, you will need to </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>come by some counter poise weights.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>I just use rolls of pennies, 1983 or newer.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>A roll of 1982 and older pennies weigh</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>one oz. more than a roll of 1983 and</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>newer...take a file to the edge of a newer</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>penny,,, they are not copper.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>The cost of this scale is way less than $3.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>And you no doubt have the stuff to make it.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>So it is free= you don't have to spend more</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>money....</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>Oh,, and I cleaned up my work shop just to</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>take this picture,,,,, YEAH ,, RIGHT,,,,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>with PhotoPaint..!!</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV> <DIV>And My Wife says I can't get anything done</DIV> <DIV>sitting at the computer....</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4>ô¿ô bill</FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4></FONT> </DIV></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
