    This subject of Fibonacci and the golden mean is very interesting to
    me.  I wouldn't mind having one of those gauges myself.  And I agree
    that they are very pricey.  I don't know if the design for this tool
    is patented or not but it seems to me that one would be able to use
    a pantograph and transfer the tool layout and make one for yourself.
     I may give it a try myself.  Pantographs are available for less
    than $20 US from several tool websites.
