Scale and bridge position on a Tenor Uke build

You set the string hight at the nut by observing the space under the string to the top of the 1st fret when you fret the string at the 3rd fret. It should be no more than the thickness of a piece of paper. I like it less than that but not touching.
 
Allen, I've never tried it that way but I sure enough will. I just measured a piece of regular old printer paper and it was 0.0050
 
I like to be about .022. I find if I go right to twenty thousands or less I often get into trouble. I got one of those nifty digital string height gauges from LMI and I like it a lot.
