Making the beam compass for la Remise inspired me to make one for myself too; after a little browsing, I decided to make a Bunmawashi, a Japanese beam compass, as presented by Toshio Odate, but adapted to hold a pencil. Still work in progress, but it should not take much longer to finish it. I am using Butternut for the beam and post and Black Walnut for the wedges. BTW, planing Butternut is sheer fun! #Bunmawashi #BeamCompass #HandTool #HandToolsOnly #Butternut #BlackWalnut #Walnut #Woodworking
