OK, ready to build my first string, string and stretching jigs made.
Question: Any rule of thumbs or ways to estimate 300 pounds without using a scale?
I looked at small, digital, luggage scales but don't know how accurate and quality they are. Next is a large hanging scale, probably 8" round face and expensive.
Thought about using a lever and some barbell weight, ie: 50 lb. to equal 300 lb. by means of a lever. Even thought of using the deflection method like how they measure spine. So many pounds to push the string down one inch etc.
Haven't come up with solutions.
