How to make a Pair of Compass Dividers

In preparation for spiling the planking on the Haven I build a pair of compass dividers. In boat building there's a method called spiling and it is the process of determining the shape of a plank that goes on your boat. In order to do this you need a good pair of compass dividers. Those old-school compass dividers we all had in grammar school just isn't gonna cut it. So, I made a pair that is accurate and will lock in place. In this episode of tool making I'll show you how I made pair of compass dividers worthy of passing down to your heirs! “If you’re going to make it, make it beautiful.” -Bob Emser- Plans for the Compass/Dividers https://www.patreon.com/posts/plans-for-pair-72080020?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator Subscribe for more Boat Building from The Art of Boat Building: https://www.youtube.com/user/bobemser/featured?sub_confirmation=1 Share this video with a friend: https://youtu.be/8IFeqx-GBaI How to support The Art of Boat Building.
