Beautiful proportions, no maths required.
I'm not a mathematician. Never have been. But I've been using the Golden Ratio in my turning for about ten years now, and it's one of the most useful things I've come across for getting form and proportion to feel right.
If you glaze over at the mention of ratios and calculators, these calipers are for you. If you've ever looked at a finished piece and thought something's slightly off but couldn't work out why, these are for you too.
Set the outer points to any measurement and the inner point finds the Golden Ratio. That's it. One movement, no maths.
