Fibonacci Gauge: How to proportion projects pleasing to the eye
Fibonacci Gauge
Enlarge Image
Four thousands of years, architects and artists have followed the principle of the Golden Mean to make designs look just right. Build the Fibonacci gauge using our plans from page 13 of issue 173. Then, using the Shop Skills article on pages 14 and 15 of this same issue and the video links below, put this helpful tool to use in your next project design.

I think it's hilarious that he was so methodical about the fib gauge and how precise it is, then at the end he tell us to JUST ROUND UP the measurments. It's like he's saying, "Hey, strive for perfection, but sometimes, just say 'FUCK IT." A very wise man.
Your explanation and demonstration of the of the golden ratio is wonderful and very practical. Well done.
this is a great and simple example of the proper application of the golden proportions. thank you
Wonderful, Fibonacci in the real world. Great for math students!
Sir I saw first video in which any person designing any object or product . I hope you will create also another video . thanks
great video. thank you. i've been designing my camper and this will really help me polish up my dimensions. thank you very much
I really thank you for this video. I've made tables and shelves from scratch with what materials on hand without any real plans and they ended up looking awkward. I grew up around shops of cabinet makers ,to machine shops my whole life and never heard of this tool or ratio. It may have been mentioned in college but I could of been out too late the night before.
that makes so much sense, i could relate that to any guessed proportion and is very similar to that, amazing.
Wow thats a very cool method of design.
Good video... amazing device... thanks
Its actually a well known fact that ancient builders commonly used phi ratios in their design, not to mention in the works of leonardo da vinci. The greek parthanon is a stellar example of phi ratios due to the many small variations within. Phi is in us all wither we like it or not, ancient builders understood this and embraced it
neat video!!
it is great to use the Fibonacci Gauge in designing aesthetically appealing looks in every object, from furniture to architecture but when it comes to dealing with not so proportionally designed spaces (such as many modern rooms and houses) it is not very easy to make use of such methods when "most use of least space" is a major limitation, unless that space has already been designed using the Fibonacci Gauge and Golden Section in mind. still however, sacrificing some room, the FG can be used.
free masons symbol there =0), good video!!
I want to buy a gauge like that!
A very good video, well done. The Fibonacci Sequence & the Golden Ratio (Section, Mean, Triangle, Rectangle, etc.) are very important to achieving psychological harmony in design. But: There is no such word as "heigth." The word is "height." With a hard "t" sound. It is pronounced in the same manner as "weight," except for the w/h differentiation. Hey KZread is on the Internet. If you put yourself out there, expect to be evaluated and judged.
Also this is found in things people find to be beautiful such as the parthenon and even Mona Lisa has been related to this ratio. Find breakdown of bodies using the Golden Ratio. Its in hand length liek he showed, Face structure, body structure. plant life. Its all over Nature and Architecture. So uh, please don't be so quick to doubt just because your uneducated in that area
you will beggin to see the fibonacci sequence in everything.. everywhere you look.. its quite interesting
im with sayantfuu, how do u make the gauge?? it would be sweet to have one for like drawing or sumthing
i finally understand
the noise that sharpie makes on that paper is herendous
But how do you make the gauge?!?
i want a guage like that
I just use my knuckles to measure stuff. And paint to fit. Don't be too precise! :)
numbers are important
allright
seems like a small table 30' but still cool vid. i guesse put a lamp thats 48 inches tall on top of it hahahah
when that guage is opened up, does it not resemble the symbol for freemasons? minus the 'g' of course. i mean the freemasons were all about mathematics anyway. either way, really interesting.
Whats the name of that tool ?
that caliber is the mason symbol.
@jamielo666 ... Well, if he really wanted precision, he would be working with CAD software...
Technically, this should be called the golden ratio gauge, as the ratio between Fibonacci numbers approximate but never actually reaches the golden ratio. This is because the golden ratio is best found through geometry, rather than math, as the true golden ratio (phi, not pi), .618.... is an infinite number. Yes mathematically irrational, but quite rational through geometry.
haha heighth, never heard that before. flip.
no template for this?

use the gauge to make yourself a template

What the hell kind of woodworker says "heighth"?
Men you just jumped from greek arcitecture to the way your body is builded ... WTf? "Nature" did your body. DNA there fibonachie gauge is present too. How do you explain that?
heighth != height
Blackthisuser... If you would research things before you criticized them you would be alot better off. Fibonacci sequences is 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34.55,89 ect... By taking and putting the previous number over the next number (the further out you take the sequence the more acurate) you get the Golden Ratio. which is what he is using. G.R. ~ 1.61803 OR APROXIMATELY (not 100% accurate) This ratio is found all over living things, from plants to animals.
Yeah, also someone "proved" that egyptian pyramids' walls are in pi proportion or sth(dont exactly remember). I do not believe this guy, he just found some pictures of building and drawer that they have this gold ratio, probably edited them in Paint and that's all...
@GrooveThumper I personally think the parthenon is a repulsive sight. It is too simple; too 'to the point', like it's creator/designer certainly revealed he was trying too hard to make it appeal to humanity's thoughtlessly instinct-driven attraction to this ratio that seems to have much of nature by the balls. Architecture is much more appealing (to me) when it's true -- true to the inhabitant's needs/lifestyle... unless the inhabitant's soul is sold to this 'fool's gold ratio'.
all very interesting, but if I built things solely for "eye-pleasing" instead of practical use, I would consider it a waste of my time.

Heya, This is a helpful video here. The most complete woodworking plans that I have ever used was Toms Magic Wood (i found it on google). Without a doubt it contains the most useful woodworking plans that I have ever tried.
This actually isn't a joke at all. Do some some research on the golden ratio before you write this off.
horrendous*
Numbers aren't really important, the ratio is????!!! [facepalm]
aarrgh! i hate it when people say "heighth" 1:18 ans 1:29. ITS HEIGHT!!!! NOT HEIGHTH!
its annoying... we learned about it in geometry and everything i look at i see it...

You guys know this video is a joke, right?
Hiyaaaa! Have you heard about - jamdun woodworking (just google it)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my mate got excellent resources with it.
