The only part I'd have an issue with is weighing the bar on an inclined surface. Your balance (scale) needs to be level to provide an accurate reading.

Oh, yeah, I guess I never used a scale before...
The plane was no longer inclined when the device was used. At 3:36 in the video, you can see the angle change.

It might also help to calibrate the scale on camera, just for the science geek crowd. And of course, the ultimate test would be to drill or cut the bar and show what it's made of, provided you don't mind sacrificing it.

It's brass with a thin plating of gold.
