Very nice ... Very Nice Indeed!

Craftsman made precision tools, so the craftsman may make even more things with even greater precision ... and thus was technology ever advanced!!!
"Information is not knowledge, Knowledge is not wisdom, Wisdom is not truth, Truth is not beauty, Beauty is not love, Love is not music: Music is THE BEST...   
Wisdom is the domain of the Wis (which is extinct). Beauty is a French phonetic corruption of a short cloth neck ornament currently in resurgence..."

Cool beans Lenn !!!

Nothing beats simple well functioning tools, especially if they can be made at low cost at home.
Thanks for sharing  :)

Great work Lenn - didn't realize there were variations to the basic tool we used in surveying and construction. "Plumb, level and square with the world" is what your tools bring to mind - a good way to live.
Regards,
Larry
