Great eye on the watch. I keep the ring and lose a finger or lose the ring and lose a life! It's a hard decision! ;)

There's lots of cool techniques out there. Tell me how it turns out!

There's a lot of cool ways to build out there, this is just one of them! Tell me how it turns out.

Thanks! It's simple to build to. If you don't have a table saw, use a circular saw with a guide. If you don't have a router, use pocket screws. I kinda took my shop's capabilities out for a spin, bu that doesn't mean you need a shop to get great furniture.

They really, really do. A 1/2" thick is too much for little hands, but this is easily made from cardboard. I will bring some cardboard versions to my son's religious class on Sunday to help them teach mindfulness and direction following to young, young learners. My kids like them because they are much more independent folding clothes because of this little DIY widget.

The original plan was to attach the caliper with rare-earth magnets. I picked up a cheap magnet hook from the hardware store to incorporate but found out it didn't work once I completed the stand. I left them out of instructions, but you can still see evidence in the construction.

Great work - impressed you had that down on a lunch break!

Great clarifications. I will incorporate your advice into the Instructable. The chain is bought with a anodized coating on it. Really, really cheap for $5. I found all my replacement parts for under $15 each, in all sorts of colors, on Amazon.

It's essentially a saw bench with a slight taper. I would use mortise & tenon joinery if I made a saw bench though. I'd keep the flames & oil finish tho

It smells awful, but works really well. A nice old yellow.

Thanks, tatmike for your sharp eyes. The instructable has been fixed!

Fixed on the instructable. Thanks for the extra pair of eyes on the piece!In person, I always teach and advise to measure off the material, not the plans. Sometimes the we make mistakes.
