<DIV>It looks great. How did you cut the "L" part of it out of the MDO?
Every time I cut something like that on a band saw, it wants to wander and I
don't wind up with straight legs.. </DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Every night I'm out there
walking my beat, turning tricks and selling myself to every two-bit clown who
did a video on some shop-made tool or some lamebrain idea on a plastic
shredder. It's terrible and someone has to stop me - my greatest
nightmare is discovering an end to YouTube and then I'm driving to Post Falls
where I beat the snot outta Dave b'cuz that's whose fault it is.</DIV>

<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Well, last Friday I was back
on my beat and found a video of a center finder. I watched the first 7
seconds of it and said out loud, "I've been threatening to make one of these
for years!"</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">In the past I used a
straight edge and did the corner-to-corner thing...for years! In fact,
every single time I did the corner-to-corner thing I would say, "One of these
days I'm gonna make a center finder."</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">The very next day I went in
the shop like a Southern Baptist preacher spouting fire 'n brimstone, "Stand
back away from MEEEEEEE you retched machines and tools and watch MEEEEEE make
a center finder!" I swear, I was doing so good with my preaching
lightning was zapping everywhere.</DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small"><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=gmail_default style="FONT-SIZE: small">Folks, it took me no
longer'n 45 minutes to make this. I ended up using 1/2" MDO for the
body. The blade is a strip of aluminum I cut from a stop sign.
Also, the model is done for you right-handed scum but on mine I flipped the
blade (it's also in version 8 for those of you who haven't upgraded to
2015).</DIV>
