10-15 kgs at a guess, there not that heavy .. unlike trying to get it off the bench after u've assembled the bottom end !

If I can sneak the bathroom scale up the grage tomorrow, I will weigh my 3.5, its a bit easier to sneak out the scales than to sneak the block into the barhroom!!!!
Or the other weight calculation is, its not too heavy so I cant lift it above my head, but damn heavy enough to hurt when you drop it in your foot..

A bare X-bolt is around 35kgs I believe. Earlier blocks are a little lighter.

Thank you.
I was thinking it was between 25 and 40. so 35 sounds right.
