Attachment 8586Attachment 8585
The device consists of a sheet of Perspex mounted exactly perpendicular to lathe bed, with a horizontal line scribed on each side at center height. Look down on mirror until both lines are coincident. Move tool close to line to see tool relative to center.

Hi slangbela,

Welcome!

The tool height gauge sounds great, but the attachments didn't come through. Please have a look at this video and give it another try: http://www.homemadetools.net/forum/h...d-photos-18931

What's next on your build list?

I have run the video "How-upload-photos" again. But when I press the attachment button to attach a photo from my iPad, I get a drop down screen asking about url. How do I progress?

There should be a "From Computer" tab to click, that you can use to upload an image from your computer, rather than from a web url.
