Simple instructions for making your own golden ratio calipers

I've written up some simple instructions for creating your own Golden Ratio Calipers. These can be used on spindle or faceplate work to identify ratios between features that should be appealing.

1. Cut two lengths (a) and (d), 2.62 units long. In each, drill a hole at one end, and another 1 unit from that.
2. Cut one length (b) 1 unit long. Drill a hole at each end.
3. Cut one length (c) 1.62 units long. Drill a hole at one end, and another 1 unit from that.
4. Attach (a) and (d) at their ends like normal calipers.
5. Attach (b) to the other hole in (a).
6. Attach the end of (c) to the free hole in (d).
7. Attach the free end of (b) to the free hole in (c).

The calipers should resemble the text diagram below.

You can be precise if you want, but don't be put off by a little imperfection. Good proportion is important, but subtle variations to perfection are what we humans enjoy. Perfection can bore the mind.
