The November 2006 issue of Wood Magazine had plans for what they called a Fibonacci Gauge. This gauge aids you in applying the Golden Mean to a Golden Rectangle.
I can understand why they would name this gauge in honor of Fibonacci and his wonderful number, much of which comports with phi. But, the Golden mean was around long before Fibonacci took a look.
I took the Wood plan and increased it by 150% on the copy machine. I made it out of some 1/8" brass I had on hand. The Wood plan called for 1/16" wood for the arms. Everything is attached with 1/4" binder screws.
