The Dremel to the rescue. The Dremel and an angle grinder are a couple of several indispensable hand tools that I own. I love these tools and use them regularly.
"A pint a pound, the world around"
Another old saying shattered!
It works as a good rule of thumb.
Easy, 16 ounces of water weighs 1 pound. Weigh your cup, add water till you are one pound over the cups weight. If you have a scale that will tare the cup weight, pour till you hit 1 pound.
When I was working my employer made us delete that rule!
The 'rule of thumb' has been said to derive from the belief that English law allowed a man to beat his wife with a stick so long as it is was no thicker than his thumb.
Pretty soon we will have no rules left!
