Some heads up, after using the wooden alignment thingo at Astrofest (I beileve made by Bob Grimes) I realised how something preset to latitude will give a good starting position for polar alignment.
I happened to get a mail out from Timbecon showing some nice vernier protractors claimed to be very accurate and having won awards

Attached is a pic of the little jigger, they're compact enough to shove in the eyepiece case (Arms 85 x 150mm) and with vernier capability should prove to be very accurate.
Cost was just $9.50 plus postage (around $16 all up). If you're a woodworking head then they also have some interesting stuff at very good prices.
