Thanks for the sketch Ron... Regarding the accuracy over time...its easy enough to check down the road. Just put the gauge and a sample piece in the box or whatever, oven dry the sample and check against the gauge...no? Terry, I have a question for you. I like the simplicity of your approach, and will use it or a version of it on a keyboard blank I'll be making in a couple months. You have a great mc/width reference before ribbing, but don't you lose your reference once the board is ribbed? There are at least 2 times after ribbing when I'll want to know when that board is at or near the target mc; just before I glue it in the case, and then again when I take downbearing measurements...it seems like you no longer have a reference dimension at these points. - Jim Ialeggio www.grandpianosolutions.com Shirley, MA (978) 425-9026
