RE: Adjustable protractor to transfer angles from plans?
There is a device called an 'angle duplicator', available at Sears and possibly Lowe's or Home Depot. It's used to copy an angle to allow it to be transferred. It is basically a blade hinged at one end that is enclosed in a body that forms the other side of the angle. You would 'eyeball' the angle from the plans onto the duplicator and transfer the angle to where you wish.
