Stoner Buck$$: 367.77 My Mood : | Re: craziest home made piece
When I was in college I came across some stuff I wanted to sell by the ounce but I had no scale and no money. I rummaged around in my junk and came up with a wooden dowel, a scrap of plywood, a fishing weight, some Elmer's glue, a couple of double edged razor blades and some bailing wire. With this I made a simple single beam scale that I calibrated using an ounce of washers I bought for less than a buck. It worked great was very accurate and easy to zero and the whole thing cost me less than a buck and a couple of hours playing around.
