A while back I showed some photos of my tensiometer made by a guy called Filip who uses the design by Jobst Brandt (which is open to use by anyone), and a few of you were interested.
I have used mine a lot now and swear by it, it's so much better than anything I've seen or used below £300, and mine cost didn't even cost half that!
Filip has now finished his top end version using a TESA Digico dial (unbelievable Swiss precision) and THK roller bearings (Japanese and smoother than a very smooth thing), and is currently selling one on ebay here.
There are much better pics and a video to see more on the ebay listing.
