Hi,
I'm too new to really be of any help to the community, but I came up with this since ordering a height gauge was going to take a little longer, not to mention why not temporarily or indefinitely repurpose/double duty other things and save some money.
I've seen Nick Wheeler using a height gauge in order to scribe the centerline of the handle along the blade line, relative to the ricasso. Thank you @NickWheeler, very handy!
So I was looking around in my "shop" to figure out a way to recreate that with what I had on hand.
I hope this will help someone else while in a pinch.
And I rounded off the screws to make it easy to adjust it on the granite surface and also glide easily.
Thanks,
Constantin
