OK, so I was inspired by some pics of a dial type tip opening measuring gauge that Steve 
Fowler had come up with and decided to try to make one of my own.   I went to Harbor 
Freight and picked up a dial gauge for $6.99 (now I noticed they are $13.99 on their website) 
and a stainless steel square for $7.99 (now you can get a set for the same price).  Anyway, I 
prefer the styling and craftsmanship of Steve's version but I would like to get some feedback 
on my version which, although it looks pretty half-assed in comparison, it does seem to 
pretty accurate.  Here is a link to my webpage for some pics and if the feedback isn't too 
terrible, I'd like to post these pics to the mouthpiece work photos section.

Let me know what you think, and honest criticism is not only welcomed but appreciated.  
Thanks in advance, Craig  

VERY cool!
