I found that the throw meters don't like to stay in place on a very thick cord wing. I ended up using a ruller. Agervates my wife though when she comes home and find a model and my Combination square on the dining room table. My bench isn't big enough to put an assembled plane, setting on it's wheels, on. I guess I could build smaller ones,, No that not going to work.

Speaking of benches, there is an ad in todays clasified in our local paper for a slab of granite 68 x38 for $100. Sure wish I had room for that bench top.
