i was wondering if there was an easy way to make a scale from house hold objects, like not a digital one but something like the one with two plates and a fulcrum in the middle... something like that, any way i could measure by grams. a paper clip is a gram right?
I've never tried making one, but I found this page on the net:
http://www.wecreate4u.net/dwilliams/scale/scale.html
Just buy a set of scales on ebay. Or try the kitchen for food scales.
Use someone's sig.
"In our area bus passes weigh about 1 gram, maybe you could hold that in one hand and a gram in the other to weigh it out"
Like wtf? lol :p
It is near impossible to use anything else other than real scales. I wish people would stop asking the same question.
You're exaclty right... if it's worth weighing, it's worth weighing properly.Quote:

/\/\ U mean like a UPS store?
heres what you do. you need a decent ruler, and something that can be used as a fulcrom (round chapstick container works)
next, the hardest part. is finding something that weighs a gram. you want it to be small...not spread out like a buss pass. Put the folcrum at 6in (whatever hte exact center is, some rulers go past 12"...or may be metric) when using it to weigh something, make sure you note where on the ruler you place the weed/counterweight. you wana keep them at oposit marks. so if you put the nugget at 1" make sure you put the counter weight at 11". you have to test-ballance the ruler yoruself, but if it balances..you got it weighed out.
if anything, it'l get the job done until you can eye out a gram.
a string a pencil and 2 baggies... get stuff weighed at a supermarket or PO,,, tie the string in the center of the pencil balance it and put a dab of super glue to hold it there... poke holes in the baggies and hang them on the ends,make a mark the same distance in on both side and hang the baggies equal,remove the eraser and metal also...

You could go to like a science store and by a mechanical balance. We use them in science class all the time to make sure our measurements are correct. Oh and they are in grams.
then have fun getting ripped off until you're 18... only children have this problem BTW you should get you're mommys permission before posting on this siteQuote:

lol ok im gonna get a digi... can i get a 0.1 graduation grams one from the post office?Quote:

Buy a pen scale. Their used for weighing small fishes, in the Fishing dept. Like, $7 man.
Homemade scales are easy if you can find something that weighs a known amount of grams. A simple scale:
Nail a thumb tack to the wall and put some heavy string in the middle. On the ends of the string tie two styrofoam cups. One cup is empty and the other has 10 pennies in it. On the bottom of the tack take a banner sheet and place it there. Where the bottom of the empty penny cup is make a mark, and that will be 0 grams. Then take a penny and place it in the empty cup and make a mark, and that will be 2.5 grams. One more penny would be 5 grams. Continue this process untill you reach 10 pennies in each cup. The limit of this scale is 25 grams and it won't be accurate (unless you're good at measurement), but it should work.
The things you think of when you're blazed.
