Hidare All,,,  Merry Christmas...

Just had to say that..  ~=BF~

I know we are not supposed to post pictures,,=20
so if anyone is interested in a Picture of a
very accurate homemade scale,, just send=20
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=20
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=3D 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....

=F4=BF=F4   bill=20
