A New Tool

Kobalt Six Inch Caliper

Kobalt Six Inch Caliper

Yesterday, while at the hardware store, I bought  a small Caliper. I have been needing one to make building my models easier.

These things are pretty cool. Mine measures down to the thousandth of an inch, enough to register the thickness of a piece of paper. And because of the straight edged tines, it can measure the diameter of round objects easily.  It came from Lowes for roughly 30 dollars.
