This is a rendition of John Heisz's Compact Compass found here: https://ibuildit.ca/tips/making-a-compact-compass/

The two compass parts can be adjusted in OpenSCAD and exported as SVG or DXF for CNC, laser cut or template making. The compass shapes were cut out of 5mm plywood and the knob was cut out of 3mm plywood

*Materials needed:*
+ 10-24 x 1" Oval Bolt
+ 10-24 Nut
+ 6d Finish Nail

All pieces are ready to be cut in the LaserCut SVG. Check pictures for assembly. I also included all the individual exported SVG files for your convenience.

The main design is customizable so feel free to adjust for you needs. Simple and useful project. I ended up coating my final compass in some tung oil. Enjoy.
