Yeah, I was over thinking the whole thing. Just ordered a "jewelry
scale" that claims resolution of 0.001oz or 0.01g for ten whole
smackers. If its no good I can send it back on Amazon's dime. I
already have a set of calibration weights so I can check it.

I have three small digital scales, and they have a reasonable margin of
error down to around .25 ounces. Maybe even .125. at 1/8 oz I double
check across all three because sometimes one or another feels a little
"sticky". I can't really justify the cost of a high end lab scale for as
often as I need to weight smaller objects, but I sometimes do need to
weigh small objects. Today down to .015625. 1/64th of an ounce. Two
of my scales round to the hundredth, and most of the time that's "good
enough." On these they both read .02. That's a huge margin of error.
The third scale that gives resolution to the thousandth didn't even
register the object in normal mode. Not surprisingly it is the cheapest
of the three.

I'm looking for something I can keep in my desk when I am doing design
and reverse engineering work to verify those small weights.

Yes this is metalworking related.
