Re: WTB Spine tester
G'day Stu,
Here is a pic of the one I made. I can send you the template in PDF if you want. I found the 15 shot tube of Berocca tablets held 2 pounds of lead with a silver solder wire hook cast in. I added the extras on top later when I realised the weight of the needle over the long lever arm was considerable.
Cheers... Rod

Here it is Stu. PM your email address, it won't let me attach the excel spine chart for some reason.
Below is a picture of what I meant by balancing the weight of the needle.
