FUCK measurements. I set them back where they were for the time being, I’m not real happy with the jig. Going to re-make it this weekend and make it a little sturdier. I should’ve done it the way I was explaining when you were there, but after you left i turned into a metal-jew. Then I ran outa wire. LOL ---
