New use for my Wixey digital angle guage

[mjmwallace]

Used it this morning to correct the angle of the Christmas tree. It's within a 0.4 degree of 90 to the floor (where I zeroed it). Good enough.

Your tree is that straight? No taper? ;-)

I used mine recently for measuring the rafter angle in my (un)FROG (getting ready to finish into my shop). I guess both applications involve wood, so within the marketing envelope. ;-)

Meh ... I'm calling foul until you get the dial indicator out and give us the tolerance to the top of the angel.

[krw]

Angle to the center of mass would be more useful.

[mjmwallace]

Tree is artificial and I took the measurement from the middle where there is no taper that I can detect.

Oh, no angel. Please, we're a family of two - one atheist one agnostic. Secular Christmas stuff only. We like the bright lights and gifts.

Ah, so it really is just another stick of lumber. ;-)

I have no issue with your choices.

Did you follow god safety habits and unplug the tree before you checked the angle? =20 Marc

[Swingman]

Being agnostic and atheist, probably not.

[mjmwallace]

Being atheistic, I trusted the rules of physics and I did.

Reminds me of the Woody Allen line, "an agnostic is someone who won't commit".

Funny!
