Home Made Skull Measurement Calipers
« on: January 01, 2009, 01:51:21 PM »
This simple tool has been handy to use and I thought some of you might be interested in having one as well.

I clean and collect animal skulls and wanted a way to get reasonably accurate length and width measurements. I'd see these several times and thought I might be able build one myself.

All I used was some scrap wood and a little brad nail gun. It probably doesn't need much description, but you need one end to slide toward and away from the other fixed end. I made the center pice of 1x1 slide between the two outside pieces. It turns out to be pretty accurate. Have fun with it.
May the morning silence be broken with the wisp of vanes trailing blades to their mark.
