Our team this year used two different scales. The main one we use at the high school's woodshop is an old farm scale. It's about 100 years old and I believe it's original use was to weigh grain. This one has different weights you can add to it and the scale is mounted on wheels so you can roll it around. It's made of cast iron (very heavy) with oak boards for the weighing platform and makes one heck of a noise when you roll it down the ceramic tile in the hall!
Just don't try to sneak up on anybody with it.
The second one we used was at one of our sponsors shops. We met there when the school was closed due to snow or the extreme cold we had back in January (how can anybody forget?!
). This scale was a digital scale used in the shipping department. Both these scales worked quite well, and we even weighed ourselves.
