I do but not on the scale. I expect there to be some "break in" when new wood is exposed.

I haven't been doing this, but I will start. Simple but effective way to tell exactly where set is happening.

If I'm just walking back from the vice and pull it to nine inches say I get 35#. If I change my benchmark to that and then exercise isn't the weight going to go down to reflect the wood removal? Shouldn't I put it on the tree and exercise it first and then pull to 9" and then change my benchmark and got through the +1 and back thing.

Why not on the scale? Or do you mean don't record the results of this exercise?

That's exactly what I do.
