Zeroed the scale and made it level.
Set the scale to .5 grains.
Let it settle and used a tooth pick and black paint to mark where the pointer was.
Cut a tooth pick until it weighed .5 grains.
Reset the scale to zero and added cut up tooth pick, marked upper .5 grains.
Repeat for marking 1 grain.
This would never hold up for a lab and Rocket Science but if you want to know how close you are it's perfect.
Very similar to yours RD. If I can get a close up with my camera I'll post it but my phone takes crappy close ups. Don't use the camera much so not sure how to do close ups.
