Yes

Well done, it's all yours. The lateral movement is there so it's accurate when measuring from the inside and outside of the hook.

Ok
If you guess this right as defined by me then you are responsible for the next image.

Those measurements aren't perpendicular to the border. Is it there a reason for that?
