   A hundred bucks is expensive? I think the homemade one might cost more by the time you verify the settings. The free wood offsets the cost of the meter already.

   *If you're serious about this as a profession, as you seem to say, invest in one. I'd buy one before spending the money on a dovetail jig. :) You need one. Get one. Period. Scott

   You could always cut a small sample and weigh it then cook out all the moisture using a microwave then re-weigh.

   I'm going to try that. since all i need to know is whether the wood is dry enough to start working without problems your idea should work perfect.
