Introducing the Crownulator w/o typos

[Jude Reveley/Absolute Piano]

  Wow, Jude!

  Does your jointer really have 0.5" of crown!?!?!?

  Big ;-] there.

  Tee hee. Yeah I guess I better do something about that. Actually, the little dial says .7, so it's .750 which is O position, just for clarity...

  Pretty cool thinking.  I like it.  Why did you choose a 12" span vs something longer (I'm thinking 18" to 24" would introduce less error).  Obviously longer wouldn't work so well up in the treble, but for the middle of the board.......

  I made longer spans too that the gage will pop into but for the sake of consistency, I chose a span that would measure the treble as well as the middle and fit right underneath the bridges in as many spots as possible. Try that with a longer span even in the middle. Remember it's not string and you still have to get past all the beams.  Also there is a a danger of the longer aluminum spans flexing and steel gets pretty heavy.

  Regardless, nice work, and, if I make my own, will you still send me the knives??

  Nope just the lemon peeler.

  Here's my latest project.......
  (not telling which one is me)

     "The Crownulator" (patent pending)...:)

    Finally a guage that accurately measures crown to the thousandth of an inch and fits up in the high treble and other tight spaces.................
