Thank you , I like your idea and it's very real in this day and age. What's also real is the steel plant in my city is for sale at the moment so I figure I should make a few for sale signs.
I can still make a mob because they'll be protesting if the plant shuts down
Today's project was figure out a way to use a digital scale at the weigh station and be able to install and remove easily when not in use.
once again, nothing fancy and just trying to make things outdoor friendly. I've seen some guys build amazing looking scales and this ain't one of them.
But it works! Using a slim line scale off eBay for dirt cheap, I cut the display out, lengthened the wires to be able to mount on some posts. Tin plate for scale to sit on, another tin plate that straddles the two sections of 1/2 plywood and then lay the shingle roll back down. Can't weigh entire truck and trailer in one shot but can do axles so I'm happy with that and should be fun to use.
