SCALES the fast way

[Aedinius]

That is an awesome idea. The size of the scale is very close to the size I want to make.I have been looking into getting mine stamped, machined, or cut by a laser. However, the upfront cost of getting them done even in mass amounts is pretty pricey. I was wondering, how did you get the wire nice and tight on the scale and what type of wire and thickness did you use.
