It’s time for another Cool Tool review. I’m going to show you a digital angle ruler. It’s sorta like digital calipers but for angles. I got this one for $19 on Amazon and if you want the same one, using the link in the description helps to support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.

I learned about the Robert Larson 800-2875 Plastic Center Finder (Amazon link) from maker Ben Light, who uses it to drill out the center in the tin can robots he builds. Online, I see a lot of videos of jewelry designers using these. Woodworkers use them on finding centers on dowels or centering up work to chuck into a lathe.

This week on Maker Update, a MIDI compatible music box, alternative controller indie games at GDC, an Arduino for your knife, controlling your computer with zombie heads, free game developer software, and Hackspace issue 5. This week’s Cool Tool is the Makey Makey Kit.

This week on Maker Update, gift-worthy projects including an RC Ladybug, high-tech puzzle box, firefly jar Bluetooth speakers, and a foam core constellation lamp. This week’s Cool Tool is a Digital Angle Ruler.
