off the top of my head, if you only want a rough estimate couldn't you tie a hair to a newtometer and incrimentally attach weights till the hair breaks?

you could even do without the newtometer... hang weights on the hair, and see when it breaks. If you know how much weight was hanging on the hair right before it broke, you have an answer.

 

The big trick will be to actually tie more and more things to the hair :D
