Beam Compass

This beam compass is designed to fit the smallest pencil up to a standard Sharpie.
The pencil holder is press fit on a 1/2" dowel, and a small screw could be added if necessary.

needed to complete :
1@ 1/2" wood dowel
2 @ 5mm x 35 length or longer hex bolt
2 @ 5mm wingnuts
2 @ 5mm nuts
2 @ 5mm thumbscrews
1 @ 1" or longer bugle / gold screw

I designed this compass after using poorly designed beam compasses for 20 years from hardware stores that either cracked or didnt hold the pencils/pens correctly.
