Hey everyone!!

I'm finally at a point in this project that I feel comfortable showing off my progress!

Every thing on this compass was made by hand, minus the dome that is. No power tools so far. I have even done the channeling for the inlays with a box cutter blade.

Looks great!

What are you using for the inlays?

Thank you! The inlays are styrene strips. Luckily those are precut! Lol

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for mine.

Thank you!! As far as the dimensions, I went with 2 7/8" for the body. How ever, after seeing DMTNT, I think I'll be making a second one at about 3". And less weathered! More of the Young Jack look.

Nice! I've built dozens of these compasses over the years, I love seeing other people make it!
