What is a Fibonacci gauge, you might ask and I would reply, that’s a really good question…

Gauge meaning: An instrument that measures and gives a visual display of the amount, level, or contents of something.

In this case a really simple gauge, that are made to simply keep the famous Leonardo Fibonacci ratio of 1.618 to one, no matter how much you open the legs on the gauge.

You can find the blog series with the whole build, jigs and much more here.

Pictures:

Hope it can be to some inspiration, a build or a thought about proportions.

Best thoughts,
