  1. HI
    this is Alberto from Milan Italy
    nice photos, but...what do you use for making that thickness caliper..? is it wood or plastic?
    I'm going to build something like that with a gauge I already have.

  2. Hi Alberto
    The caliper is made from wood, but it's a bit to flexible. Will be better to think of something from met f.i. aluminum
