As I️ expected, your beam compass design, producing, and functionality are much less complex and much more efficient than others on KZitem. Thank you, John. I️ knew I️ could count on you.

Just what I need for making plywood lids for my 5 gallon buckets so I can sit on them. One little trick on that bolt after you cut the head off it is to chuck it up in your drill motor and then make the point on your grinder. It will be perfectly centered.

Every few years, I do a millwork installation in a new school and I get a lot of off cuts from that. The changeroom bench slats are 2" x 4" maple, as are a lot of the other trim details. Sometimes, there's a lot left over and sometimes very little.

Thanks. My first thought was to make it with a pointer and scale, but threw out the idea. Whenever I'm drawing a circle, my tape is near, so it's not a hardship to use that to set the radius.

Watched your video yesterday and built a big one (about 5' 6" long). Probably pushing the limits. Being this long, there's a wobble in the middle. I can probably fix that by sending a yardstick through the thicknessing sander and using masking tape to reinforce the center.

Hey John, have you considered swapping out the wing nut on the sharpened steel bolt with a wooden knob with a nut glued into it. It might be easier to pivot holding on to a smooth wooden knob.

Everybody do not have drill-presses, table-saws and so on, as you have. so, to make it easer to go down to a store and purchas a aluminium or plastic extrusions, which are stable, perfect in size, easy to rivit together. Hai, wood was not made by you, it was grown. wood is good for some things, metal and plastic is good for other things. E.g. an ocean liner is made of steel and aluminium, not wood. Thus, each material is suitable for a particular purpose. so don't get hot under your coller!

Nice project.. but... I strongly recommend you rethink your sloppy safety practices. Time 00:12-00:19 Left hand shouldn't be there. Your left thumb is too close to the blade. I would have used one wide hold down from the rear and cut into the hold down. Left hand far away from blade. Time 01:04-01:15. 3.5" grinder with cutting blade without safety guard. Have you ever seen one of those blades break apart? It happens pretty easily. Were you wearing a full face shield when using that tool? You know those thin cutter plates are not meant for grinding on the sides, like you did to sharpen that bolt.. that thins the plate and makes them break up easily. I also noted you put the grinder down while it still had a lot of speed. That's not a good practice. At time 3:21 that was a pretty dangerous cut, reversing direction with blade still on. I would have cut thru material, stopped the wood, then kicked off the table saw with my left knee safety shutoff. Reversing direction on that is asking for a kickback fiasco. Ooofff. Its an awful nice project but your work habits leave much to be desired. You are about due for an accident. Is the first aid kit ready? Do you really need all of your fingers anyway? Is there someone nearby who can drive you to the hospital? Perhaps its time to sit down, look hard in the mirror, and make an assessment on risk? Good luck.
