Happy to hear that others enjoyed seeing how to make protractor blades. It was a fun project to say the least.
Note to Uncle Buck. I sent you a PM giving you the tracking numbers. The shipping time was longer than I expected. Should arrive this upcoming Tuesday. By the way there’s a little something special that I placed in the box. I have a dozen such items and there’s no way I can ever use or need that many. Thought you’d make good use of it.

I thought that I'd try to put a youtube link showing the final grinding of the blades. Taking off .0005"... Half a thousandth of an inch that is

Thanks for the video, that was excellent!
My father-in-law used to be a tool and die maker, he brought me many amazing creations from the surface grinder at work. All I had to do was dream it up. It took him a while to get used to working without blueprints and using his own creativity to fill in the gaps but he became great at it.

Talk about cutting it close!
I always marvel at the knowledge and experience it takes to bring together the machines, instruments and materials to create such things!
