[TheForge] How much does it weigh?

[G. Watts]

You're welcome.  I use it frequently for quick-calc'ing load weights for 
crane picks and rigging on the job...quicker than the straight volume 
method for me, though when I'm not on a federal project with "safety" 
Nazis running around, I usually just do a mental calculation converting 
to 41 pounds per square foot by 1" thick...kinda convoluted, but it's 
what I'm used to, so comes quickly to me. Sometimes it's nice to have a 
smartphone in the pocket at work, though.
George.
