easier way to find center

[Bruce McLeish]

I just cobbled together this center finder out of scraps.this pic shows how it's used:last pic shows results:Uncolored section is a measured (with a digital caliper then scribed) and the blued section was with the new tool. Just as accurate, no setup or measurements needed. Easy to make , took less then half hour and nothing but scraps to make.

I've thought about building something like that. That's how centering jigs work for gunsmithing work for centering mounts and sights and such.

I didn't know that. Guess my dreams of a patent to make me rich are dashed against the rocks of reality once again. Still easy to make. I'll be happy to make one and sell it to ya!

Well, I have never seen one for sheet stock.

You mean making knives isn't already making you rich?

 

[J. Doyle]

Cool. I bet a guy with an hour or two to kill could make a real fancy one.
