with all the metric system becoming so pervasive I imagine a bakery supply
house or such would have a good volume metric scale. Why not just call a
scale company and ask them? Probably a second hand restaurant supply house
would have.

Can anybody give me an idea where I might find a decent scale for ceramics
use? Something that would measure weights from say 1/2 lb to maybe 30 or 40
lbs with a fair degree of accuracy. I'm not necessarily talking about
something sensitive enough to be weighing out glaze components (though that
would be fine too). But I'm looking for something more for raw clay or
possibly finished pieces in that range. Any ideas?

Tim,i happen to have a set of Hobart Deli type scales,i had used them for
produce sales at the farmers market, which i no longer do.they weigh in
100ths of a pound up to 25 lbs.the math to convert to grams was more than i
wanted to deal with,would sale at a very reasonable price if you would like
to contact me at< earthboundacres@hotmail.com,they are in perfect working
order.

Mechanical kitchen scales (0-25 lbs) often show
up at thrift stores, selling for just a few bucks.

I had no trouble finding the gram/ounce
scale I wanted for glazes, as well as a larger
scale for weighing pounds of clay, at
Aardvark. They've been in daily use
for years with no problems. I'm sure the other supply houses carry them =
also. If they're not
listed in the catalogs of Laguna, Axner etc, call to ask.

Ebay is also a good source for scales. There are classified under business
and industrial equipment

Check out the antique stores. Usually for about 10-30 bucks they have light
industrial or kitchen or packaging scales not unlike the pelouze brand
offered in ceramic supply catalogues. Just check the calibration ( bring in
a known weight) before you but.

i used e-bay about a month ago and got a good scale
fore $14 with shipping.
try using this search tearm in the e-bay site and you
should be able to find what you are looking for:
kitchen scale -digital,-dollhouse
(this means search for kitchen scale and ignore
anything with digital or dollhouse in it.
i would put in the 0-10 dollar range to further limit
the false hits.
