Can someone give instructions for putting a vertical line on a rear standing leaf that requires a minimum amount of tools and abilities. Thanks.

Measure the width of the rear blade and divide it in half. Subtract approximately .010 from that measurement and set and lock your calipers. Now, from the outside to the center, on each side, transpose that distance using a pencil. You should now have a nice .020 line that you can scribe into the blade using a straight edge and scratch awl.

Or, you can mask to the line from each side and paint it using an acrylic artists paint. Pull the tape and you should have a clean little .020 vertical line. Or, scribe it then paint it.

Reminds me of the RCA label with the dog listening to the Gramaphone... "His Master's voice."

Malm, that was as neatly described as it can be.

I like that response, and it sounds doable, even for me. Thanks.
