    Gday Neil, definitely a brilliant idea for quick setups, I find I’m always chasing the last thou all the time when it’s not necessary, great job mate, cheers

    Hey Matty ! Sometimes close enough is good enough, or in that wonderful film "Babe" that'll do pig! 🤣🤣 Never mind the pig, watch out for the spiders 🕷🕷🕷

    I like it Neil. So many jobs would be fine to that level of accuracy and it's a good quick set up. Best wishes, Dean.

    Hi Paul. Just need to play around with it for a while and I think it will be a useful tool. Cheers Neil.

    Hi Neil. You definitely demonstrated that for a quick means to get an odd angled stock more or less parallel to the top of a vice, your little tool is the way to go. Otherwise it’s so difficult to do. Thank you for the follow up. 👏👏👍😀

    Ayeup Nell. I’ve only just found out that you’ve snuck a couple of videos in. My alert or notifications aren’t working for some reason, perhaps youtube don’t want me to get any new ideas. 🤣😂 That’s a fair dinkum idea, good on yer, well done. see you soon cheers.

    Done out of desperation Paul 😊 I was having a moment the other day and I kept tapping the job the wrong way. Forgot the rule with indicator needle movements. Left means low, right is high. The indicator almost took a swim in the canal ! Still got brain fog, I can't be trusted these days 🤣🤣

    I'm sure if you used it a few times it can be very acurate. I think it's a brilliant idea.

    I think you are right Michel. I got it perfect 3 of 4 times but can't remember if I lifted the job up or pushed it down with the quill. I will try and figure out the best method 😊 Kind regards Neil

    Handy tool, no parallels needed. I use a Starrett 135B pocket level for quick jobs and thin parts.

    I did try a level but had issues. My floor isn't a solid slab. That combined with the fact that the workshop is built next to a steep canal bank means things move around quite a lot 😁 In fact, I have to jack the one side of the workshop up every few months because the door won't open. Cheers Neil

    Hi Carl !!!! It just cuts down on time with non critical stuff. It will never replace using indicators but sometimes that level of accuracy isnt required. What I'm basically saying is, I'm a bit rough 🤣🤣
