Darren, thanks for the link, I downloaded it. I was thinking I need to download the unzipper to this computer, shouldn't be a problem.
BUT! since Dan now has it I can just get him to 'splain it to me!

Two dowel pins would work fine, thats what I use. If your duplicating your tool holders don't bother reinventing the wheel or doing the math. Drop the pins in an existing holder and measure the distance between and duplicate. That way you can measure in cubits if you want.
Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.

(Now where is my cubit mic, maybe in the cubitainer?)
