A guy in the shop has a really nice angle finder/miter gauge called an
Angle Wright. Unfortunately these are no longer manufactured, and I
haven't been able to find one for sale. For a long time there was no
web presence other than to say they aren't making them any longer.
But recently they started promoting and selling AngleWright
Woodworker's Height Gauge, which can be seen here....
http://www.anglewright.com
I don't have a need at this time for one of these, but I am in the
market for a nice beefy angle finder/protractor type thing. Any
recommendations? I'd like to be able to set it to an angle and lock
it, and have it stay accurate even under a bit of force.

I have a starrett square with a protractor which can be set for nearly
any angle. Like this:

Not at all heartless in my opinion. I'm of the school of thought that says
if you want to live in a flood plane, then do so, and absorb all of the
obvious costs in doing so. Talk about stupid! Don't even get me started on
levees and the likes. Start with a stupid idea, add stupid thinking, and
then throw stupid people in the mix. Good recipe for... stupid!

How do you mean that - in terms of the length of the power outage, or in
terms of the real damage done throughout many homes and businesses in the
area? I really have a hard time believing that this storm caused any more -
let alone MUCH more damage than Irene.

07481, without power from last Saturday until 9PM last night. MUCH
worse damage here than what Irene brought.

I realized after I sent my last post that you may not have seen the damage
from Irene that other areas of NJ experienced. A friend saw over 6 feet of
water in his basement. Pictures on the web of entire streets lined with
furniture set out for garbage pick up, and all sorts of belongings. Of
course there was the normal tree damage from Irene as well, plus the mess
from floatsom that collected everywhere once the waters receeded. That
damage was much more than what I'm hearing from the snow storm - but I'm not
sure that your area saw the intensity of Irene that other areas of NJ saw.
In that case, it could make a lot of sense that your area is seeing more
damage from the storm, than it saw from Irene.

Just heard from a friend today that areas of CT are still without power
right now, and it is not expected back on until Friday.

We have them for drowning dogs and small children and add slippery banks to
ensure a better yield.

That price is really good for the seller. I got something close to that
from Grizzly (to lazy to look up details), that was far less. See
<http://www.grizzly.com/products/category.aspx?key=260050>
I also got a Wixey digital angle finder with magnetic base, but it is NOT
a protractor. DAGS for it.

No that was not the one I meant, but it is really cute!
Late reply because we were without power for 24 hrs, courtesy of the
Ocober surprise. Although not too many big trees went over, the damage
from broken off branches is almost greater here in 07410 than with Irene.

You're next doors!!
Yes, upon further reflection this Octosnowsurprise was about 5x worse than
Irene in terms of tree damage.

As I detailed elsewhere, in Radburn's parks (http://radburn.org) Irene
took down 1 tree and broke 1 big branch off a tree. This
Octosnowsurprise didn't fell any trees, but 72 sustained severe damage,
that likely will cost this community ~27K because the tree pruning
required demands that the tree company send people up in the trees,
beyond where their trucks' buckets can reach.
There was more damage on private residents' property of course in both
cases.
Our house was without power for 24 hrs only, many were for longer,
although here in 07410 almost all power is now back. Just 1 local
restaurant, Picnic, reopened on Wednesday. They were without power for
more than 3 days, and had to throw out lots of food ...
Yes, in damages other than flooding, this storm was way worse than Irene,
but that flooding was very, VERY severe.

Portions of our town (Fair Lawn, NJ) were flooded 3 times - first Irene,
then 2 more times. One of our middle schools was partially flooded and
opened weeks later than scheduled. Irene was very bad here. But I
purposely talked just about the wind damage here. I may be heartless,
but building your house in a flood plain is not smart. And preventing
flooding with dikes or levees upstream, and draining wetlands upstream
makes that all the water goes downstream much faster and higher. In many
places around here that gives bad problems over and over. Look at Wayne,
NJ - almost famous (actually infamous) for flooding.
We're lucky here that real flooding isn't much of a problem, althoughthe
watertable is rather high, and many basements need help when it rains
hard.

Well, being originally from Holland, levees and dikes are good if you
take into account where the water might go. In the case of rivers
(either in Holland or here), it becomes very muddled (and muddied!) very
fast. Protecting this area here (which may be desirable) puts increased
risks over there (which is often really, really bad). You have to make
"holding basins" in the form of sacrificial wetlands or agricultural
areas.

I don't really like the idea of my strawberries coming from fields that
were inundated by streams that overflowed, especially if neighboring sewage
treatment plants are adequate under those admittedly extreme conditions.

Angle ? how does it measure angles ? . Looks like a hieght gauge to me .
should call it Hieght Wright.
Pity not in Metric either.
