Nice job Col, the centre finder reminds me of one I made at school some years ago.

I know they are nothing special but thought it would show how easy these things are to make.
I made the calipers & centre finders purely through necessity as I couldn't find any that size.
The Fabanicci gauge was just for fun, although it will be handy for getting proportions correct when designing vases etc.
