HF 440 Lb scale accuracy
 

I mentioned this a while ago as a DIY load cell:
http://www.harborfreight.com/big-game-scale-65613.html

At the time I had only spring scales to check it against. The other
day I found a doctor's office scale for free. It uses weights and
leverage so I trust the accuracy of an old one more than a spring
scale.

Within the HF's 2-Lb resolution a log that weighs 248 Lbs on the
Health-O-Meter shows 248 on the HF scale too.

It wasn't completely free. I spent an hour looking at the gentleman's
fine woodworking projects and fixing his bandsaw.

I politely turned down his z-folding ladder and drafting table,
already have my own. The man is a master woodcarver who owned a
furniture factory.

He tried to show me how to carve. My skilled draftsman / technicians
hands could copy him but I have no artistic ability. I can make decent
straight lines and circles freehand, nothing more.

I have long ago resigned myself to being a tech and not an artisan.

Indeed. Same here.

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost
