This method works fine but takes more time as you have to roll the shaft a number of times to make sure you have the spine.
Also, your table has to be dead flat and clean.
A spine finder can be made for about £10 (the metal body type, not the plastic one) and is worth every penny.
I bought the bearings on E bay then epoxied them into a cut off bit of a table leg I bought from the local B & Q hardware store.
Total cost was just under £10.50.
I must add that I recieved invaluable advice from Lowpost about the whole spining process as well as a load of other club building advice.
Thanks to his help I now have 7 very happy friends playing with custom built
clubs (mostly SMT
irons).
