How do I build a wooden compass? Question
+5
−0
How can I make my own compass out of wood? (I mean the drawing tool, not the direction-finder.)
Ideally, I'd like something that:
- Handles diameters from 3 in to 2 ft
- Has minimal non-wooden parts like screws
- Light duty but shouldn't fall apart after a handful of uses
- Can change the pencil easily, and replace pencil with a needle or marking knife
- As easy as possible to construct
I have access to basic woodworking tools (hand and power) and am comfortable with basic woodworking techniques.
