- www.jax-design.... Build a large wooden compass with hinge, spring and fine adjuster. It can reach over 1 foot.
The ends have points and can be used as a dividing compass and for marking distances.
NICE. I humbly admit that I was taken aback by this video. When I first seen your prototype, I was looking down my nose at how bad it looked. Then you said it was spring loaded and I continued to watch. Then after I finished watching the whole thing, I was felt ashamed. I LOVE THE WOODEN SPRING. Thank you for sharing and thank you for putting this ass in his place by nothing more than sharing your genius.
Every one else has already said it, but I just wanted to express my appreciation for such a nice neat simple design. Genius.
Brilliant design, Jack. A simple yet elegant solution to the spring!
Very clever, that is a tool all woodworkers could use in their shop. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much for making & sharing this brilliant video! Really impressive! I never in a million years would have thought to put a spring in there - it's simple yet genius! ... Well done - can't wait to make my own!
You are persistent and people deserve to live and invest your time in useful things for the community >>thank you
Jack, I absolutely love the natural spring action of this compass. Thinking out of the box, Jack. Great idea.
really nice Jack. Only today I didn't find my (old) compass and I tought making one myself. Never tought to attach the 2 pieces like you did. Thanks a lot. It is very helpfull to me. Great.
That's a great design! I love the spring mechanism!
I love this Jack! Came out great, I want to build a few in different sizes now.
A very nice tool Jack. Love the spring action.
Love the built in spring action
Handy tool Jack, great for marking Lathe projects
Awesome project, that wood spring mechanism is awesome!
Simple project, but quite useful. I love the integrated spring. Good job!
Jack, thank you for sharing this, that's one of the most interesting small projects I've seen. A real winner! I'll be making this, but I'll add an attachment to hold a pencil.
Thank you so much!!!!
I was all set on buying one when I thought I’ll have a look on YT.
Made one today and it’s awesome 😎
Great design and works so well
Thanks again 👍👍👍👍
I was hunting like mad for the spring and then I saw what you did, very clever. I'm going to make this but I'll be sure to give you the credit.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Very interesting tool project. The spring mechanism was so innovate and simple. Thanks for sharing.
Jack you always have great ideas. Thanks for sharing.
That's pretty cool jack. I really like the spring design
That is nice Jack. Very easy to make and everyone uses a compass. Thanks
Great approach to making it springy. Love White Oak's spring-i-ness…
That seems to work really well! Nice
Mr. Jack Very good project especially the self-adjusting spring. Saludos
That is a very clever design .It will come in handy building clock cases.
Nice the way you made the spring right in the design.
Awesome idea here Jack with the spring action i am going to make a few thanks Patrick
Nice job Jack! That will come in handy I'm sure.
Fantastic, its just what I needed. Its a pleasure to follow your creations.
Very nice project Jack. Thanks for sharing.
Great project Jack! Love the simple design. I had to go back and watch a second time to figure out the natural spring. I'd like to make a couple sets. Do you have dimensions on the cuts and pin positioning to make the spring work properly? Or, is it a trial and error thing? Thanks again Jack.... Best regards Charlie
THANKS GREAT IDEA. I LIKE HOW YOU USED THE WOOD AS A SPRING.
Cool! Thanks for sharing! I'd love to see this design incorporated into a "Golden Mean Guage!"
yet another great video and tool
I like it Jack. Looks like it's time to build one of my own.
Thanks for inspiration!
A great little project that is easily done and can be very accurate. Thanks for the video.
KSFWG Dave!
Ted!
U never cease to amaze me. I just spotted your jax-design.net site. Took a bit to catch up but I'm up to speed. Thanx for being U
Fantastic Jack! What a nice little project!
I like it, Jack! Full size dividers for me, and downsize to make training chopsticks for the grandkids. I was just wondering how to make them some chopsticks, they don't like the restaurant ones with rubber rings.
Nice design for a spring using the wood.
Another brilliant design. I think i am going to try that one.
fantastic idea! I would like to know the steps to do one of these. Greetings from Brazil.👍😉
congratulations on your idea , from the city of Rosario Republica Argentina I leave a greeting and a hug ( I hope the translation from Spanish into English is correct )
Nice compass. The Spring action is very clever. Wouldn't take much to adapt it to put a pencil on one end.
Felicidades, un lindo trabajo Maestro Muy práctico y fácil de hacer.
That is a great project Jack I love the design
Very nice "natural springload" !
That spring mechanism is cool.
Great compass, Jack!
Once again - a nice one Jack. Unfortunately the uplink tool doesn't work. I hope you aren't in too much pain.
Very nice Jack.
Good job, Jack! You always have a cool project.
Thanks for sharing Jack, really nice build.
Love your gadgets, Jack. Very useful stuff!
Very Clever. Love it
Neat Idea with the inbuilt spring mech!
They have my vote :-))
hola amigo jack saludos desde malloeca españa aprendi mucho con tus videos selebro estes bien
Great idea !! I like your Wooden Spring System !!
Great job Jack mate, Best wishes Harry
Jack
awesome idea
Nice one Jack
Fantástico!!! 👏👏👏Gracias
as usual Jack you make things very easy to make, I have made several of your projects and I'm in the process of making this one. there is one thing I would like to ask, being that I'm an old timer, would it be possible to get the measurements in inches?
Thanks for the great videos
Love this compass!! A bit confused on the spring loaded part, is it a bolt with a spring slipped over it? Or is it all one mechanism that was purchased? Cheer’s
So I'm thinking, "those cuts are a bit long. Wonder where the spring goes. Oh wait......Riigghhhtt" Clever design. (thumbs up) I'm thinking it functions more as a set of dividers than a compass?
great design. If it's yours, then compliments.
Very good work Jack!!!
Great idea and nice video! Thanks for sharing.
very clever dividers....thanks
Great project. I like the new logo!
think i will make a couple in different sizes. Will probably drill a small stop hole at the base of the slots though I don't really think there will be a lot of pressure trying th split the wood. might make some salad tongs the same way ...
very good idea ... you can incorporate a cutter to cut circles in leather
Ingenious ! thanks for the video
I made the one at 2:30... thanks for sharing...
Very good Job congratulations
Good work, Jack. ...always enjoy your videos.

كان يلزم زنبرك داخل الفرجار بحيث كلما فتحت البرغي ضغط الزنبرك على الفرجار للخارج
Great !!! very nice
¡Gracias por compartir!
gracias muy buen proyecto!!!
Fantastic idea :-) Thank you!
Ver y good Joba, congratulations
I built it and it worked great. How did you come up with the spring design? I had to look at it for a couple of minutes to understand it :)
Here you go Jack: i.imgur.com/C9aSwVO.jpg
I made mine really quickly, my daughter was learning how to use compasses in school and we taught it would be fun to take a really big compass. Her teacher loves these kind of things. Tbh, I thought this one would not work, because I kind of estimated the placement of the hinge. I also should make the leg with the pin shorter, it is too long now. Oh and I made mine out of cherry.
Nice project
Jack.
Very nice
I love it🎉
Okay, I think I missed it. How exactly is it springing back? I never saw a spring! ;-}
cool wooden spring effect
muy....bueno
I don't get how it springs open without a spring?
Thanks a lot!
Jack, how does the spring action work? Thanks! Dave
Good👍✌👌
good
I missed the spring.
me too
Nice i need to make me 1 or 2 thanks
Cool video, first
planos ?
***** ok muchas gracias jack.
hate myself for being so pedantic ... but it’s a pair of compasses ... (a compass is the thing that points north)
... nice job though ... keep 'em coming!
Sorry my english...
