I'm really impressed with what you've done over there. Who knew this was in your blood all along? I bet Koko is proud. Wishing you an abundant crop, Sliv Hi Mike,

The scales here (I have two) are modern stainless steel 2kg (4.4lb) kitchen units, they're not heavy at all, durable enough but kinda flimsy. The advantage to me is that they're light, relatively cheap ($30), easy to fix if they drop and something gets loose, and at least look like what I originally had in mind. They're from a company called Lee Valley. it's a temp solution that's hung on for much longer than I'd planned. I'd really like an old-style hanging scale with an analog dial that does 20lbs+, like the kind they have in some supermarkets for test weighing your produce. I found a couple on ebay, but they were out-of-country for me and I didn't bother following up. The casual search continues...

I am looking for something with that design but am not finding anything that will go past a couple of pounds. Obviously I am not looking in the right places. Yours looks like exactly what I want. Enough about me ... your stand looks great, and the wooden crates propped up like that are fantastic! Very old world market, and probably very appealing to the shoppers!
