This is probably a 3 to 4 part build series on making a Surface Gauge / Squareness Comparator. I opted to base it on the Hermann Schmidt MG-1 design. I'm still tweaking the FreeCAD CAD files as I build it, but if you're interested I can upload them somewhere.
I still haven't worked out how to heat treat this given I don't have furnace or a torch for flame hardening. If you know some place in Melbourne, Australia that can do one off heat treat of small parts, please let me know.
