Good for you Igor, and I am glad things are going well for


Thanks. Yes, I had seen one at Lee Valley -

formatting link
$56 for a dedicated height dial indicator. Though unlike mine, it can tell you how high the first set is, not just deltas.

Something I realize I need to do too.

As a newbie, I thought "Just how hard can it be to cut something square?" and "Surely 89.5 degrees is close enough to 90!"

Wow - about 8 hours into my first piece of "try-to-make-something-nice-enough-to-bring-inside" furniture, I found out how important precision (and accuracy) is!

Thanks for the Giz link. I'll order that too.

Nice post, Igor...but the Trojan comment might have been a little more info than we needed.
