I took the time to play with some metal just in case people thought I'd closed the machine shop.
To better use the gage blocks I bough I made a dial bore gauge setter. With a stack of blocks between the bottom and moveable anvil it should be a breeze to adjust the bore gauge. Seen to do a fair bit of bushing work and setting the gauge with a micrometer is a pain.
The base and anvil are cast iron, does that ever grind nice. The top anvil has a spring love it to hold pressure on the gauge blocks. The rod locks with a small split cotter.

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
