Tom Berge saved my heart on Sunday. He kindly drove all the way across town to inspect my project for me. He did his usual, thorough job, imparting a bunch of knowledge I didn't remotely know. He also made me feel a lot better about my work to date and told me what to do to fix a few boo boos.
Thank you, Tom!
One of Tom's suggestions was to purchase new dimple dies from Cleaveland. He felt that the Cleaveland dies were superior to the ones I had been using. He also told me to get the undersized female die for those places that are a little too tight. I'll be using that one!
While shopping the Cleaveland online web store, I also found they had a digital level. I've been looking for one, but haven't found one to date. Well, finding that Cleaveland carried them induced me to search the web. I was surprised, but in a quick (15 minute) web search, Cleaveland's price was also the best for what appear to be a decent digital level. The beauty of digital is accuracy -- accurate to 2 tenths of a degree, which is far more accurate than I'd expect to get with a bubble level.
My new toys arrived today. Christmas in May!
