DaveOh yes, Dave, this is relaxing -- just that I do it once a month... and I wish I were doing it more often... BTW, According to me this jig needs the following improvements:1. solder a ball bearing of 1/8-5/32 diameter at the bottom of the brass feet -- the filed hemisphere is not a true sphere. 2. add a resting leg with thread adjustment close to the indicator, so that the jig can rest on the dovetail and need only a minor swing up and down to make the measurement. 3. knurl the brass screw knob... Anyways, I made it from scrap cutoffs, and worked with dimensions of available (to me) scrap.
Have you guys considered getting professional counseling?[...]
I see how scraping could be quite hypnotic and take you into the zone. I have experienced something like that in a workshop for sharpening Japanese planes and chisels.What would be very interesting to me, would be a discussion of aligning and scraping in a tailstock on a lathe. First, checking it's height, angle, and then making it fit. Mosey
