The laser-cut basswood pieces for the built-up fins are really nice - I tried cutting them by hand for a repair job, gave up, and bought another set from Semroc.

Paul,

I cannot imagine the embarrassment from someone calling me out for the incorrect dowel diameter! And my dilemma is that I still wonder if I should make them slightly smaller, to account for the thickness of paint.

Have considered this- https://www.micromark.com/Jewelers-Draw-Plate

Their tools ARE over priced, though it looks handy.

Bob
p.s. they do have regular sales, nabbed a lighted magnified table/swivel lamp not too long ago.


I am seriously considering buying that drawplate.
