Needed a diversion from other stuff and kept seeing the Fibonacci Gauge and Wood magazine had a pattern so I thought I'd give it a whirl. I made a couple out of 1/8" Purpleheart and Hard Maple. 1/4" split nuts with a nice pattern, made of brass. I made a jig to drill all the holes and a pattern to mark the shapes. The pieces An example from the internet and mine. That's about it, thanks for looking.
Now if you take your gauge and wander around your house checking stuff you will find some very surprising facts, all of which you may have taken for granted and never realised before.
A bit of trivia to ponder:- Fibonacci ... his name was actually Leonardo Bonacci and as usual he was given a nick name, now its obvious part of his surname was used and he became known a Fibonacci world wide and still is today... Italian of course.
Now we have William nicknamed Bill and Robert as Bob absolutely no relationship whatsoever. However along comes Albert, ... AKA Al, as in Al Yankovic definitely not Italian!... that's for sure, and there is Bert as in Bert Munroe The fastest Indian, who was actually a Kiwi, all having a reasonable relationship with the original name.
