82 - How to Make Golden Ratio Calipers Golden Mean FREE PLANS

[@Janiebrom]

I agree, your caliper design is very pretty and I very much appreciate you sharing your plans free of charge, thank you so much.

[@tigerking2179]

Out of all the explanations that I have watched or read yours is the best, easiest, and makes the most sense. Plus your calipers look the best, they are beautiful, a work of art. Thanks for the free plans.

[@judithmcreynolds8418]

Wow! A ratio common to DNA and galaxies illustrated in a KZbin video by a woodworking guy. James, you are one great teacher! Steve (Judy’s husband)

[@TheWoodStroker]

Excellent video. Understanding the Golden Ratio makes one appreciate that there is a 'higher authority' out there.

[@ricabel321]

Michael A. "higher authority out there" ??? Or, more likely the Golden Ratio demonstrates that nature and the cosmos simply follow natural laws and patterns. Where as some super duper-natural thingy might make things in a more "unique" manner. Something along the lines of (let's say) having water run UP HILL on Thursdays. Now that might prove something along the line you suggest.

[@ricabel321]

OUCH !!!!!!! Apparently God sent his "Best" to smite me !

[@Magoover1]

I went to your website and ordered the plans. Quick and easy...no hassle. I definitely will be going back to your site to purchase other plans

[@augustschilz3336]

I'm a professional artist, hobbyist woodworker, got the free plans. Thank you!!! I'll be watching your videos.

[@ButchShelton]

MOM! He's trying to make me learn stuff! This was excellent I can't wait to get home from work tomorrow to build a set of these. The explanation was spot on even a hillbilly like me could understand. Only problem is now I will look everywhere for the ratio. Thank you for this vid.

[@bradymcphail9690]

Thank you for sharing this awesome tool! I’m going to make several for myself to use in all of my different styles of hobbies. I will make some from steel as well!

[@uptopmikep7065]

Great video. This is the best explanation of the the golden ratio I have seen & heard yet.

[@bassileira5525]

Awesome! You are a great person, I appreciate your explanations, your way of talking about this interesting topic and providing the printable plan. May you be blessed. 🙏🏻🍀

[@michaeldean-jackson8242]

Greetings from South Africa. Thank-you for making this plan gratis.

[@keithspencersr.6806]

I work as a CAD instructor and you have just educated me to something I never knew, thank you.

[@dalescott3077]

James - Great Video. As an Engineer I have been for years fascinated with the Fibinachi sequence and how it applies to so much in our daily lives. I used a similar example with my kids when I was getting them to understand the importance of numbers and math in their day to day lives. Must have worked as my daughter is an accountant now. By the way my kids are 30 and 32 now so I guess I should not be calling them kids … God Bless to you and your family, love the content, keep up the great work.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thanks, Dale!

[@KenWarrior]

Dale Scott. Fibonacci please ! 😀

[@waynemahler2015]

I had heard about the golden rule before explained by another famous wood worker. I was confused, this made it so simple to understand and use. Can not thank you enough. Keep up the great work.

[@marrazzowoodworkingdiy8118]

I haven't used a set of these calipers but I am very familiar with the golden mean. As a beginning woodworker but experienced carpenter I think it's time I build a pair!!! Thanks for the help!!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@tomsdreamshopworx]

Cool project. I used to teach a beginner woodworking class at woodcraft many years ago. On the first day of class we talked about design and I explained the golden ratio to them. I use it all the time in my designs.

[@glenngoodale1709]

I expect your videos every week, it's better than a movie, you learn a lot and it's very entertaining. Greetings from Florida

[@StrayCatHomestead]

Very cool. I knew this ratio existed but didn't know the details quite like you explained. It's amazing how the teacher can be the difference in life.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

You are very kind. Thank you!

[@darwinschierer8575]

Amazing. I never knew about this until now, but its usefulness is readily apparent. Thank you for this post.

[@mike8342-1a]

Thanks so muck for the free plan of this absolutely elegant tool 🙂 amazing how body proportions like the arm and the hand or the face follow this golden rule as well as a galaxy ?!? ... if I wouldn´t believe in God, it would be unbelievable ;)

[@xavierortega8747]

Thank you so much for the free download, I really like your craftsmanship and this calipers will be a good project to put my mind in to action. I send you my gratitude and blessings on your work.

this is one of the best videos about golden ratio i have seen on youtube. would recommend it for every school in educational purposes. thanks for making it and sharing.

[@68shiloh]

This is something that will come in handy box making. I always watch and enjoy your video's. Good to see you and your family back.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@tonyioannoni4951]

WOW...so freaking nice, heard a couples of time about the golden ratio, and more often on nature perfect ratios and proportions for so many things, here you demystify something that should have been done in math in college!!! so if I sum it up, "B/A = A+B/B = 1.618" that is so brilliant on your part to share your knowledge with everybody....Thanks! I remember a program it was something like "The science of beauty", where they explained our eyes evaluates beauty in proportions and symmetry, in a fraction of a second, this explains the proportions!!! PS: It was a while we did not have a video from you....

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi Tony! Thanks for watching! We do have a good number of videos lined up.

[@gbd3479]

Thanks for the free download.Will put this knowledge to good use.

[@5x535]

Thank you for the plans. I will make a pair out of stainless and begin to incorporate them into my blacksmithing projects. Sometimes things just aren't "right" and this will help it flow, I'm certain.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Hi, that’s amazing!! I’d love to have a stainless steel set! Would you be interested in making an extra set and selling me one?

[@Barnabus33]

So far your the first wood worker I've seen talk about this subject!!! I've got more respect for ya now that I know you are into learning the stuff they didnt teach us in school...its amazing how many lies you run into when you go looking for the true history of man isnt it?

[@MrCpolzin]

Yahooooooo... You built a set and they are beautiful James.I run around a lot measuring everything too and they should be used in all design.Thank you so much for the shout out my brother,as you know I dearly miss wood working since my accident but I will be back in the shop very soon.Wonderful video packed with great information and so funny to see your girls having fun.Again what a top job,they look great mate.Bless you buddy,sending love to you all from Down Under xo

[@wycheproofworkshops1192]

And a massive Thank you from Wycheproof Workshops as well.. :)

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thanks, buddy! Been following your projects. You are a mighty busy person.

[@wycheproofworkshops1192]

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you very much!

[@dariushmilani6760]

Although I am aware of this number but your explanation was very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

[@brettm1118]

You never cease to amaze me. I didn't know about the golden mean - super cool

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@sharondenomme-adams4988]

Thank you for these plans. I am excited to use them. I enjoy hobby-sculpting and cannot find any in my area. I recently learned about golden ration means calipers from a recent book I've been studying on how to advance my sculpting techniques to a more professional level. Thank you for your contribution and I am a person who enjoys "paying it forward" and you will get the credit. 😀

[@Kitaronas]

Thanks a lot for sharing it! Download was easy. Now lets make it!

[@ludab5073]

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you

[@jamiehorne1890]

Thanks for the free plans.... I am a metal worker, and have had to "to the math" for my golden ratios. This is gonna be a big help

[@DancingFox6]

Thank you. This is exactly what I was hoping to find and more.

[@imrekocsis4614]

Hello James glad to see you are back, was worried had not seen anything from your channel for several weeks. Thank you for the video and the free palns it is greatly appreciated regards from Port Elizabeth south Africa

[@jameswarner6105]

Great video and great lesson. Thanks for the free plan. BTW, the table saw sled from the plans I bought last summer turned out great.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Awesome. Thank you!

[@jimlee5626]

Nice build.

[@stewartmcmanus3991]

Thanks for that man, I will made them today.

[@doreenwatson-read]

That was really interesting , I can never quite grasp this concept till now , I don't know how long I'll retain the information because I have to many pills but it was nice to have it explained so clearly .

[@joeymerrell8585]

You never cease to amaze, James. I havent thought of this ratio since college.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@franarodiamante1350]

THANKS FROM VENEZUELA, AN EXCELLENT VIDEO WELL EXPLAINED, AND WITH THE PLANS MANY THANKS GOD BLESS YOU

[@crus1n]

Brilliant, downloaded plans and this is my next project, thanks for the insight :)

[@armyofant924]

Awesome set of calipers! Thankyou for the free plans.

[@jcsrst]

That was fascinating! I knew of the golden mean but never heard such a comprehensive explanation. Thank you!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thanks for watching!

[@Sebastopolmark]

GREAT video James. I was facinated with the into. facts. Thank you and thanks for the plans, I am off to Rocker for some exotic wood to build one of these! !! !!!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@grovesville]

I've heard of the golden ratio but have never seen the tool for duplicating it, thanks for my next project

[@geraldmartin8195]

Thank you for this. Very clear and instructive. I encountered the Golden Ratio in art college many, many years ago. So I'm especially pleased to find a tool that I can use for reference.

[@brentfowler2317]

Mind blown! Love to learn stuff like this. So thank you.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@robertmammone8521]

Great video. Glad you're back.

[@moonolyth]

I did a SketchUp model of a set a long time ago just to have the dimension points. But I have never seen a set so nicely done, Very elegant.

[@hwgunner2143]

very cool vid. I might try making one of those. I am SUPER excited to hear you are going to be putting out more videos. I have missed seeing your vids over the last couple months.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you, Jonathan!

[@Smex9680]

James, James, Your Golden, very well explained. I remember this from my high school days.

[@tathaart8775]

Great job brother, Subscribed

[@chrismoody1342]

I’m pretty good at applying this ratio by eye to a lot of furniture I build. Never knew there was a sacred ratio 1.618/1. Guess I need to do some measuring just to see how close I am following this. Thanks for the vid. Good to see the family is so involved with you builds. My daughter has expressed an interest in woodworking, guess I need to follow thru as you.

[@terrybollenbaugh7622]

Fascinating video James. Very cool.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@GrahamOrm]

Fascinating. I did know about the golden ratio but not that it was so prolific. Have downloaded the drawing, thank you.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@keithspencersr.6806]

Loved the art skills

[@larrylund2682]

Sacred geometry is a really old concept. Nice to see awareness of this coming back. I might make a small one for jewelry application.

[@huwdavies5264]

This video is brilliant. I had heard of the Golden Ratio but did not really know what it was. So well explained, thanks. Will be downloading the plans and making one of these. Cheers, Huw

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@wmtaylor6431]

The Guild of New Hampshire woodworkers GNHW.org has a subgroup of period furniture builders which I presently lead. At our first Fall 2018 meeting we had a brief discussion about the golden ratio. We were building a knife box/silverware box, most commonly built in the late 1700’s in the British Isles and which conformed to the golden ratio. Your explanation exceeded our brief discussion. Thank you! We will revisit this at our next meeting.

[@steelwood74]

More people should know about the Fibonacci Gauge. Well done

[@thepeaceforge]

Great and very interesting video! I do lots of sacred geometry themed metal work. Im gonna have a go at making this from steel. ✌🏼

[@jacklingerfelt400]

Make a set in sheet brass first. 😜

[@B_COOPER]

Not only is this tool handy, but it’s fun to hand it to people that don’t know what it is and to see their reaction to simply just watching it all pivot.

[@gerritstijvers7690]

Wauw i just stumblet over your video, this is so nice. Im going to try this one and will subscribe. Thank you

[@RayBecker]

Why does this only have 82k views? Awesome job. The theory and relation to Nature and Mathematics is really incredible. You explained the "Why" and that is what really hooked me. Good job man!

[@oldgrumpy]

Thank you for the free plan. Very interesting video.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thanks for watching!

[@l1verm0m]

Great job James.....

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@brownpaul476]

this would be interesting for blacksmithing as well

[@stanrescigno5093]

Ahhh, so good to see you and the girls. Loved the video. I’ve always been a math guy, so this just hit the spot. You are an awesome teacher buddy. Can’t wait for more videos!

[@KingsFineWoodworking]

Thank you Stan! You are very kind. Sai is also a math whiz. She is actually taking college math as a freshman in high school.

[@timpeterson87]

Subscribed! And trying to see if I can get some made! Thank you

[@NASTYcraftX]

[@davidharvey5672]

Very interesting subject. Reminds me of my engineering days and something we call an involute curv which is used on the faces of gear teeth . Thanks

[@PirateChiefPC1]

Great video. I never knew about this, and I completely forgot about the perfect isosceles triangle. Thank you SOOOO much for the free plans. I will make a set, but I intend to buy a steel set for heavy duty use! Great Video! The dislikers are sub-inteligent!

[@diggerdeb]

Fascinating......thanks for sharing.

[@KingsFineWoodworking]
