Wooden rack for 12" Dial Caliper (Mitutoyo)
It doesn't look too great, but I started on a wooden rack for my 12" dial calipers to use on the bench top. The depth to cradle the calipers is complete and I have added a relieved area near the center of gravity for grabbing the beam. I will engrave my name below the beam at the right side in a tribal font. It looks real 'plain' and the wood is kind of rough so I thought I could put some engraving in several of the blank spots before I do any finishing. Long as I have an inclinable caliper rack that looks half way decent when I get done I will be satisfied. I did not want to surface the wood, but it would have been better for engraving. Take a look.
