   What kind of pen do you guys use to mark your wood and your cuts.
   Seems everything I use crushes the wood ie: gel ink and rollerball.

I use felt tip markers, often a Sharpie with an extra-fine tip. I've
seen a few folks that use a fine tip brush.

   Also, when I see a plan that says 2 degrees this and 3 degrees
   that, as far as setting up a thrust bearing , how do you go about
   measuring or is it guess from experience? Thanks Barry

I put a wire in the bearing and eyeball it. I usually make a drawing
of the desired setting and compare by eye rather than by actually
measuring. I guess you could measure it. Maybe that's why I'm only a
so-so builder and flyer and not a champion!
