I have plenty of micrometers and verniers etc, but the only protractor i have is a ratty old mitutoyo someone gave me. I have been trying to buy one but they go for stupid money. Anyway i spotted this one made by Granlund in Sweden. I paid very little for it, and it is a quality bit of kit. The only issue i can see is it has no way of locking the blade when you have it at the angle you want. Maybe the two black screw lock it, i will try tomorrow.
For scale the blade is about 12" long.

I've seen a similar protractor before, where the screw in the center ring had a tapered base so that when tightening the knurled nut the screw expanded the center ring and tightened it to the frame.

Everything on the drive is covered with heavy tarpaulins and roped down. Nothing can be moved without a big hiab as the average hiab wouldn't have the lifting power or the reach. Plus my car sits in front of that lot sides ways. Also I took a lot of time placing the machines in a way that in order to get to one you need to move the lot....

Most of the travellers around this area I know very well. And most dont have a hiab big enough.

Got it about a year ago as a stop gap Spencer and was going to get rid of it because it can only move single bits of kit about. That crane has been so useful its earned its place and can stay.

Could be worse - might announce that she has found a nice little bungalow and wants to move !@spencer 427 !
I think I can see your wife sharpening a knife through the net curtains.... Spaghetti Bollocknese tonight
...one of those says that keeps getting better!
Had 2 wildlife gardening books delivered to work yesterday, which some kind soul left in the cab for me:
Found a Hiab outrigger spreader pad laid by the A66 near Stainmoor cafe:
Stopped for a break by the A75, enroute to Cairnryan for the 16.30 ferry over to Norn Iron, and acquired this gorgeous view over Wigtown Bay:
Then while I was having a pot of coffee and a cheese wrap, I heard an insistent squeaking which I assumed was a bird trapped in something man-made. How wrong was I!
Not the best of shots, but just below the tussock of grass in the centre of the shot is an Otter pup. Sat and watched it for 5 minutes, and I'm chuffed to bits to have seen it.
