[Jewelry making - Article 00723] - [Orchid] Purchasing scales

    Hi Everyone- I am thinking of purchasing a scale to weigh my silver
    to help me figure out the cost of a piece. 1) Is this a good idea and
    2)any suggestions on which scale?  I have been looking thru Rio
    Grande, and it seems as though an electronic scale can be purchased
    for about $85. I don't usually buy the cheapest choice, usually buy
    mid-range, so I am wondering if anybody else is using this type of
    scale. I am also looking for feedback on how folks figure the cost of
    silver used in a piece. I have tried marking everything (20 cents and
    inch, 10 cents apiece, etc) but am thinking of just weighing the
    materials, or perhaps the finished piece. Any comments, and thanks
    very much. Cherie AT  Flying Bird Studio,Where leaves are just starting
    to turn glorious colors.
