Building Michel Uphoff's Magnetic Indicator Stand (Build Along?)

I'll be making a copy of Michel Uphoff's magnetic indicator stand. Who wants to build along with me?

His work was inspired by Robin Renzetti's and Stefan Gotteswinter's indicator stand improvements.

Download the PDF plans,

and watch the build videos below. Specifically watch video 3 to find out how to access the 3D model files.



 
I have a Fisso indicator holder. I always thought that Noga was good. The Fisso is amazing! Happy to add its design virtues to your project.
 
It looks cool. I think a build-along is a great idea, but not that particular project for me. I have a few sizes of Noga mag bases so I don't really need that kind of model. (Side note, I have touched a Fisso once, they are beautiful.) I can see other uses for a powerful mag base though, so that's intriguing. I have some surface gage & other measurement related projects in the CAD hopper, but I'm staying focused on rebuilding this TCG until its off my workbench. There are glimpses of light at the end of the tunnel. Or was that just the embers of another helmet fire?

Michel makes magnetic chucks too... very handy for more than just surface grinders
