I like the idea of being able to SEE what the end product will look like with very themlittle time. If something needs to be fixed (shorter wedge end) I can do that and then use them as a template...

Thanks Tim! Now I never thought of using a ruler for scales...that is !

I have been toying with making custom scales and I wanteed to see how the shape that I was...
