day fourteen of the December photo challenge: movement. I don't know why stuffed buns needed a compass, but it was there, and I photographed it.
I wanted to recess the compass a bit so it wouldn't hit everything. Now only half of the compass is above the deck and I'll glue a piece of carbon sheet on top of it to protect it a bit more.
I know this will collect water but I hope it wont be too bad. I had thought of trying it out first but then I forgot as I was building and suddenly it was glued to the deck. I'm very pleased with the shape of the recess.
I wanted a compass attached to my deck in some way so I bought one and made another hole in the canoe.
Former National Travel Leopard/Willowbrook Spacecar REL401R was rebodied and reregistered to KIB6110 in the late 80s and passed to Compass Bus, Wakefield. Following service in Wakefield it passed to South Yorkshire Transport as their number 69 and saw service in Doncaster and Sheffield.
I had an idea for a project and ordered about 150 compasses, each came individually wrapped and this is the one and only that actually worked. I tested them all over several days with magnets to see if the needle would move. I tried putting magnets on the nonworking ones to see if they'd been demagnitized. After cracking open a few I discovered they were lacking the teeny piece of iron on the needle. I'm not sure what to do with them now.
S789NRV is a Caetano Compass bodied Dennis Dart SLF new in January 1999 to Frodingham Coaches, I had the pleasure of delivering it to EYMS on Armistice Day 2001 on the takeover of the Frodingham business when it became 318 in the EY fleet. It initially worked at Bridlington depot, followed by a time at Scarborough, later transferring to Hull, although it has been a spare bus loaned out to other depots, spent various spells delicenced and even been loaned to Whittles and on the sales list, but it still soldiers on . As a forty seat bus fitted with seat belts it is useful for a variety of duties, it is seen looking smart on Hull local route 62 to Setting Dyke Estate on Priory Road.
I had to really rack my brain for this weeks challenge, but found an old army compass that fit the bill. It has a US stamp on the cover. So no one navigates by a compass anymore, if your lost just use your phone...
Happy Macromonday!!!

The compass rotates (on its own) to find north, unless you've got a giant hunk of magnetic material nearby.

There were many compasses on the boat, but I had a hard time getting good pictures of them because of glare.

This is also marquetry with a closeup picture of a compass rose box. The woods are all natural colors. Oak, spalted tamarind ( from the Florida Keys after a storm ), maple, and the purple is a exotic wood called purpleheart. The rest of the box is made of walnut and lined with velvet too.
18 pieces of wood were used in this piece of the compass rose. The fun part was matching all the points perfectly.
