    Guess the Weight!

    Hey everyone! I picked up some scrap over the last two days and decided to do a Guess the Weight on it. So, have fun! The hand truck is not scrap BTW, so it's not included in the weight.

    Admire a small ship, but put your freight in a large one; for the larger the load, the greater will be the profit upon profit.
    Hesiod
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Ok, so the load came to 940 lbs! There was a copy machine up at the front that weighed a ton! Took three people to load it!

    Since the entire load weighed in at 940 pounds
    and a ton is 2000 pounds

    Is that copy machine one of them there "short" tons I hear people talking about??
