Thanks;

 

I have an earlier version of CD's spinefinder. I was just wondering if he had redesigned it.

Nope. Colin's Mark IV (am guessing at the model number, but used to have one) is basically a tube-type spinefinder...two circular bearings enclosed in a tube with a shaped and angled piece of wood attached to the tube underneath, to hold the spinefinder in a vise. The third circular bearing has a short chain attached and is used to pull down the tip. It's a well-made, sensitive spinefinder, includes all instructions and has a reasonable price.

 

If you want to build a spinefinder, I think the Neufinder1 can do a little more for about the same money and a Neufinder2, in addition to spinefinding, can also accurately match a set of shafts faster than with a frequency meter. The Neufinder4, plans soon to be released, will be even better.
