Right.

Since the foot cradle is so easy to make, with its fine parts coming out of the cutoff bin, I made a couple of different width feet to accomodate the shorter sections.

By the way, the pics don't show the steel woodscrews on the top surface of the wood block. The wood screw heads are attracted to the magnets in the Wixey base, "clamping" the Wixey adequately to the base, but still allow you to use the gauge for other tasks in the shop...A fun toy...

nice tip the screws, ! I would also add some synthetic fur on the top of the cradle, just for the look

Thanks for the responses. The great news is that yesterday I did a serious 90-minute search and eventually found my Lowell gauge!
