Almost certainly more accurate than me with a spoke key so should do the job.
Will leave that part for after I get it built, need to pop down to Wickes or Screwfix or wherever and buy some extrusion etc.
Edit: can't find extrusion on either of those websites, does anyone know if any of the big chain DIY stores sell it?

I have a bent up crashed fork. I want to turn it into a truing stand but sliding so I can do rear wheels as well.
Here's my "schematic":
Will it work assuming I can get the dropouts level? Will probably use something better than a wood block and attach the right hand leg the same way so there's enough clearance radially outward from the hub. Not sure how to attach the legs to the woodblock at this stage, suggestions welcome.
The nice thing is I can fix bolts or a dial into the extrusion (somehow) for truing and also it can be disassembled into three long straight bits which i can shove under the sofa or wherever
Edit: inspired by the one @Batt did a few pages back. Did you ever find a dial for yours?
Edit2: ooh, vertical sliding clamp fitting for the fork legs? Then I have 2d (+ rotation) adjustability
