This is the holder for the compass. I've sanded it smooth once and then I painted it with a thin layer of resin. I'll sand it smooth again and then paint it with varnish.

Some much-needed nice weather and a nice subject to shoot out west. Three shots stitched together & some processing. Hope you like it, feedback welcome.
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.
Goop added and so is pressure. I had to add a few more things to prevent it from sliding forwards since it sits on an angle. The pressure is downwards and then it moves slowly towards the front. Even when I pulled the string backwards.
I checked the level of the pressure bar (the piece of wood) and compared it with the jig. They were the same so I hope it's level. The compass have a lot of room to move around in the housing but I'll be annoyed if I can see that it's not strait.
Some products of Eyellusion, taken at the Christmas Fair at the Tate Modern in London. It is open till 24th December.
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.
Having cocked up an earlier day time shot of it, here's a better-but-still-not-great-shot of Compass Bus GX62 CJO heading for Dunsfold with the 42.
I haven't seen one of the short, new-style Enviros on the route before.
Friary bus station, Guildford, Surrey.

Compass Royston Volvo B10M-60 Van Hool Alizee LIL 9814 passes through Dover Eastern Docks, 21st July, 1997. It was new to Nationwide, Carnwath, as G340 HSC.
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.
