I was stumped
I was trying to teach a classmate about the golden mean as it applies to the sculpting of his horn. Anyway, I couldn't convert the inches to proportions and so I converted everything to metric, made my calculations in metric and then reconverted it back to inches (we only had an inch ruler).
Who knew folk art could be so difficult?

I prefer metrics on many projects.
In one of my past lives, I routinely "had" to relate to Metrics and at first, thought it was an imposition. In reality, I found it to be an advantage as it's so much easier to work with. I actually prefer it, for some applications. ....
 Be Safe !!!

I did the calculations on the cell phone so it didn't take that long. The leaves fell, then the snow fell and melted, the grass and leaves then grew. That's about it. Oh, the bears came out of hibernation too.
