Building Michel Uphoff's Magnetic Indicator Stand (Build Along?)

[TorontoBuilder]

I'll be making a copy of Michel Uphoff's magnetic indicator stand. Who wants to build along with me?

His work was inspired by Robin Renzetti's and Stefan Gotteswinter's indicator stand improvements.

I have a Fisso indicator holder. I always thought that Noga was good. The Fisso is amazing! Happy to add its design virtues to your project.

Wasn't it you that started the thread about huge lists of unfinished projects ?

you're too observant... but this was one of those must builds, and the stand part is not too onerous.

It looks cool. I think a build-along is a great idea, but not that particular project for me. I have a few sizes of Noga mag bases so I don't really need that kind of model. (Side note, I have touched a Fisso once, they are beautiful.) I can see other uses for a powerful mag base though, so that's intriguing. I have some surface gage & other measurement related projects in the CAD hopper, but I'm staying focused on rebuilding this TCG until its off my workbench. There are glimpses of light at the end of the tunnel. Or was that just the embers of another helmet fire?

Michel makes magnetic chucks too... very handy for more than just surface grinders
