Anyone know how to make a home made spine checking tool and how to go about making one?

I have one that uses a dial indicator that was very simple to make. Send me an e-mail or PM and I'll send you a pic. Basically it's a board with two uprights, 28" apart and the dial indicator in the middle, and with a 2# weight suppended in the middle the deflection is measured in thousanths(.00) and compared with a chart that gives the spine weight.

DBernier:
Pat, wasn't there a web site and article showing how to do this with the dial indicator?
Pat B:
The website you are talking about is: http://www.jamesmhill.com/spine_tester.html
I'll have to scan ta pic of the one Art Butner made. It is simular to Hill's but done with more wood and easier for me to make. I'll get it scanned in a bit and post a pic. I'll also scan and post the deflection chart that goes with it. Pat
Pat B:
Someone send me an e-mail address so I can e-mail this to you. I can't get it to come up as an attachment. Pat marciaandpat@citcom.net
