How about interesting measuring tools? :-) In particular, a micrometer mated with a tiny sine bar for measuring angles. (Other things, like the V-anvil ones are easier to find.) OOOO...nice. I do need a simple tubing mic if you ever stumble across a spare.... I don't have one of my own, either. However, if you get a multi-anvil micrometer (interchangeable flat and rod anvils), the rod anvil will work quite well as a tubing micrometer. (It also works nicely as a 0-1" height gauge, with the anvil removed entirely.) My multi-anvil came without a flat anvil, but I so far have not needed that. Also, you can get one of the slip-on 0.250" balls in a collar to measure the wall thickness of tubing -- at least in the 0-0.750" range -- with one of those.

My dad - 85 he is - drove Phoenix to Ok to TX (my house) to Tenn, NC, to MASS, to Maine and then reversed the trip.

Can't see tying up money on a tube mic when it wouldn't get much use. Harold I should have commented further. The balls sold by Starrett are not .250" diameter, but .200". They do come in two different sized housings, however, to accommodate different anvil sizes. The smaller ball (in lieu of the .250" mentioned by DoN) give you a slightly larger range with a 1" mic, .000" to .800", plus the cheat when you get over .800". The added bonus is that the micrometer is direct reading, taking the .200" into account. Harold |

You might even have a small worm-drive winch laying about ;-) Just make sure you use a worm-drive or something that has a means to control and brake your lift/load. -- Leon Fisk Grand Rapids MI/Zone 5b Remove no.spam for email |

Actually I do have two worm drive winches, but they are pretty big....10x10x8" or so...about 60lbs each. But Id rather fix the hydraulics properly. But Ill certainly ponder the idea at length.
