Other uses for a degree wheel.
jasonf December 23rd 2009, 6:04 pm
I made a lighted 20' christmas tree this year and I had to build a 3' star for the top. After messing around with this dinky little protractor it finally donned on me that I had a better tool for the job. I needed to make marks every 72 degrees for the points of the star. I will get a picture of it all lit up tonight.
