minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish18•edit-22 days agoA 1ft^3 solid block of stainless steel is 500lbs. (227kg) That looks a bit bigger than that, and weight will go up exponentially with increased perimeters. If the sides are 16in we’re looking at 1,200lbs (544kg) Edit: it clearly says the weight on the pic… Guess I still need to wake up.
