Dang! I was going to make one when it was simple. :) Now you go and make it confusing! :(
Every time I think I will try something, because it looks relatively easy, you guys, go and throw in some quirks, and doo flangers, that makes it no longer something simple that I can do...... ::)

Stick, it's still simple.
I think I beat the adjusting thing.
Hardware store and plastic bushings.
I only use about 0.5 of the indicator travel. 1/4" long bushing inside a larger, longer outside to slip snuggly over the tip seems to be working.
Had already epoxied a small nut onto the indicator tip for an enlarged flat. These stepped bushings fit over it nicely. Gives me a 3/8-7/16 flattend tip.
On the bamboo I've already gotten a good idea what is usable. My 4' lengths give me 18" to home in on the desired spine location after a quick rough straightening.
Really not that bad. A bit time consuming at first maybe. But not difficult once you're started.
Just zero the dial face, count the revolutions and read for the total.
Got rid of the other 2 today so I'm down to my last one. Should of made more. ::)

O-Tay......I still have my H. Freight dial indicater, and magnetic stand for it, all I need now is some lumber. ;)

Go for it.
You won't be sorry.
This is getting into the fun stuff about archery.
Enjoy

You said it steve. I've got many different piles of bamboo now. I love finally having a spine tester. It is nice knowing that you can check a stick for spine before you get too far into it
