Looks quite expensive for something one could make from scrap plywood. (me 
being frugal. OK cheap.)

I've measured toe on my MGA using a couple of woodworking squares & a length 
of 2X4.

If it is accurate enough it might do the job. And if its accurate but won't 
do the job you could sell it to me. (1/2 price because I'm frugal. OK, 
cheap.)
