Home-Made Microgram Balance

We were going to post some instructions but they are so long, and reference the pictures, and we dont want to direct link to their site, so i'm not hyperlinking the pictures.

And u are welcome and we learn more information from our guest Charley.

So, I'll just post the "what you need"

A three foot board to use as the base. I chose an oak door threshold because it looked nice.

A three foot long threaded rod. The diameter and threading are not critical — I used a 10-32 threaded 3/16 inch diameter galvanized steel rod.

Two 7/8 inch fender washers that fit nicely on the 3/16 inch rod.
Two 1/2 inch washers that fit on the rod.

Two machine screws about 3 or 4 inches long, with slot heads. I used 1/4 inch brass because they were pretty.

Four hex nuts that fit on the rod.

An empty aluminum soda can.

Three single-edged razor blades.
