possibilities for using this and know I can not find the funds before it goes out of production so maybe I can make one.

As of this time I am now teaching vets again. If you have any lumber scraps we can use them to glue up to make some bowl from a board. Thank You
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

Yeah, making one seems to be the best option. That is a very specific use tool. I can think of a lot of things to do with the $290 it costs. That said, it is a very nice tool and a neat idea. If someone was giving them out, I would be happy to take one.

If you were fitting things of about that size all day, it would certainly be a good tool to have. If it's only now and then, a couple of bevel gauges and an old fashioned folding rule with a sliding extended tip for inside measurements would work just fine. Or if you like templates, rip some 1/8" strips from a board, and on site trim to size with scissors and connect them together with a hot glue gun.

Arlin,
Make your own. Piece of cake. Use the money for other things.

I get emails advertising these one-time tools and the price always seems outrageous. Are they worth it?

No. Unless you do the specific task for a living, then, maybe, just maybe.

Wheaton makes one. Its fairly common and high quality. You could probably find a good one on an auction for not too much money. Its called the stair wizard.

Oh, that would have been sooo sweet working on the van where nothing is square. I managed for a lot fewer $$$, though.
