I think that this little, simple tool is so cool! I can make exact tracings of what I'm working on!! I made mine out of aluminum . Thank you John Hall for posting this, it's probably a 100 yrs old, but it takes groups like this to pass it along!

Ooohh, I like yours, Todd! You can see through it - just in case.
I had plenty of Lexan back in the day when I made mine, but scrap aluminum was cheaper.
