I regularly do this, especially for leaf shutters, in which the 
effective shutter speeds tend tend to vary widely as you stop down.

I'd be glad to print a shutter chart and laminate for you. I can make it 
adhesive if you want to stick it to something. I, personally, don't 
like to adhere them to the camera, but do what makes you feel good.

I might suggest that the chart includes-
        Identifier for camera or lens. Last few #s of the serial # will do 
          if you have more than 1.
        Date of testing
        If leaf shutter shutter, test at more than one aperture, wide open 
          and f/16 or f/22.
        If you live in a cold climate, chill the camera and retest. Add temp 
          variation to chart, if needed.

I'll be glad to do this for anyone on the list - until I reach my 
saturation point or run out of postage money.  :)
