[TheForge] How much does it weigh?

Here is a question for anyone.
I would like to know the combined weight of the following:
A piece of steel plate who's dimensions are;
3-1/2" thick x 25" wide x 56" long
AND
7 pieces of steel round stock.
Each one is 7-1/2" diameter x 22-1/2" long

Why you might ask?
Well, some years ago I started to build a
300lb. +/- Kinyon style air hammer
http://magichammer.freeservers.com/page7.html
and
http://davemudge.freeservers.com/Big_Hammer_Thumbs.htm
I have all of the major components (on the pages above)
I even have the hammer head (2 pieces of 5-1/4" sq. x 12")
to be welded together.
and the top and bottom flat dies 4" x 4" x 10" 4340.
Here is how I made the flat dies for my smaller Kinyon style
http://magichammer.freeservers.com/page51.html
Something similar will work for the big hammer dies.

Just need mounting plate for the head and guides
and mounting plate for the cylinder and the plumbing
and not much else.

I am thinking of offering all of this for sale as a kit.
The buyer would have to come pick it up as shipping
charges would be outrageous
Is anyone interested?
