Heirloom Beam Compass | Way out of my comfort zone!
I occasionally need to draw arcs and large circles that exceed the capacity of my Accuscribe scribing tool. It’s pretty trivial to create a makeshift beam compass using shop scraps and a pencil but I thought it would be fun to go all out and make an heirloom-quality beam compass from walnut and aluminum.
I don’t work with metal all that often so this was a bit outside of my comfort zone, but it was fun nonetheless.
