12" Compass
Furnished content. (from Lumberjocks.com)
I had a lull in projects earlier in the week so I made a compass for use in the barn on layout of pieces for the lathe. I made this one out of mesquite because it is very strong and stable. it is 12” long from the pivot to the point and will draw a circle from 1” diameter to 30 3/4” diameter. This time I made one where the pencil goes up inside the arm instead of on the outside. It will take up to a 4” long pencil and I have a lot of short pencils to keep it supplied for a long time.All the wood parts are mesquite and finished with Danish oil and then buffed and waxed. All the brass parts are tuned from solid stock. The steel tip is hardened tool steel.Cheers, Jim
