No matter where you stand on Earth, you can hold a compass in your hand and it will point toward the North Pole. What an unbelievably neat and amazing thing! Imagine that you are in the middle of the ocean, and you are looking all around you in every direction and all you can see is water, and it is overcast so you cannot see the sun.
How in the world would you know which way to go unless you had a compass to tell you which way is "up"? Long before GPS satellites and other high-tech navigational aids, the compass gave humans an easy and inexpensive way to orient themselves.

This compass lives above the back door at Monticello -- it's connected to the weather vane on the roof so Jefferson could see which direction the wind was blowing from the doorway.

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.
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.
