    awesome. where did you get the idea from...

    anyway, what is the song you used in your movie[/b]
    The hydraulic lengths shorten when you put pressure/weight on them.. that always annoyed me. One day I thought hey.. maybe I can do something with that. About 20 minutes later, the prop scale was born.

    The song is "How We Operate" by Gomez. Great song.

    Wow, that would actually be really useful for measuring the total weight of a contraption.
    Good work!

    I actually made a smaller one (using a 1x1 PHX plate) too. I use them to get the weight of the front and rear of my planes.. and it gives me a ratio of the thruster force I need to keep the plane floating steadily when flying. It actually has some pretty good uses.

    This is very awesome. How ever, the weight from the weight stool seems only to put at an amount of 15 pounds off at the most by what your accurate scale says. But I guess that is useful to know if your making a delicate contraption. I would of never thought of this. Great idea, great job, and keep up the great work. Very creative.

    Hmm... now its time to make one that is the same size as a regular scale and does the same job as a regular scale... if its possible...
    92% of teens have moved onto rap. If you are part of the 92% that has moved on to bigger and better songs, copy and paste this into your signature.
    98% of teens smoke, or have smoked before in their life. If you are part of the 2% that hasn't/doesn't, copy this into your sig.

    To edit your sig, scroll up, click on "My Controls", and find on the left under Personal Profile, "Edit Signature"
    Note: Best done on a connection speed that isn't as sucky as dial-up... DUH!
