    Making a caliper depth base

    I needed a depth base for my calipers. I found a Mitutoyo for over $50 and an iGaging for under $20. But it was more fun to make my own - it came out pretty good! This one is 3" wide which seems to be the standard size and I might make a wider one in the future.
