Peter – I like that one too!
Builder – I haven't got anything in particular to measure and I know that one of the dinky digital devices will do all the measuring and fit everywhere I need. I want something that'll be useful for a number of things occasionally, but in particular I want one of these because it's a beautiful tool. Sad but true.
Michael – thanks for the tip, I hadn't seen one of those. Now it is also on the list!
Hacksaw – PM sent. Also nice username.
Rik – I agree almost word for word with both paragraphs!
