Look forward to seeing how this turns out.

B.C Ames Company is still alive here in Massachusetts. Tiny company with little to no growth potential, but still around. Try not to grind the name off as it could soon become a "rare collectible", and is already out of production. I've got a feeling there will be more tools like it in the not-too-distant future.

Looks good Bob. I was going to ask if it was the same Ames company that makes the dial indicators, but Ken beat me to it. They make very nice indicators.
