In fact, in all but the absolute most top-end gauges, a protractor is used to measure loft.

Then you simply lay the protractor on the ground and the face. Read the angle - that's your loft.
So yes, you can do it yourself.

That is not true, and completely wrong, except for the driver every club has a certain amount of shaft lean to make the lofts correct, so putting shaft straight up/down will give you false reading, more loft then it should be. Wedges have allot of shaft lean up throught the least amount of a 1 iron. You can use a protractor, but you will also need to get a chart for each
clubs shaft lean before reading the loft and/or adjust.
