    Wow, thank you for making this a tutorial. I would have never thought to use cardboard and was trying to think of a wood that I wouldn’t need a saw for lol, but this looks actually do-able.

    Here’s an idea for ya to make the compass that much better is if you get a small magnet and glue it to the underside of the compass dial it will make it move easier and if you have another compass you can make it look as if the compass is moving on its own. 😊 also thanks i have been waiting for someone to make a perfect jack sparrow compass 😊😊👌✌️

      You can glue on a rectangular piece of felt instead of a hinge, and it should work pretty much the same way as a real hinge.

    How did you get the foam to form I have been trying it with a hairdryer and it isn't forming

    • @Thewoodlandelf
      @Thewoodlandelf  Před 4 lety

      Hairdryer usually works. Trying warming it up longer before attempting to stretch it. If that still doesn't work, your hairdryer settings might not go high enough. Holding it next a burning woodstove or using heat gun also works well.

      and how many Inches/CM are you using on the compass to draw the circles?

    • @Thewoodlandelf
      @Thewoodlandelf  Před 5 lety

      The cardboard squares were about 3 1/2 inches. And the circles were about 2 1/2 inches in diameter (the inner cardstock circle being just a tad bit smaller, so it didn't hit the edges of the compass hole)

      You can either look for a screw that short enough that it won't poke through, or just cut the end of a longer screw off with a pair of wire cutters so it's short enough.

      You can get it at JoAnn's, Michael's, Hobby lobby. Anyplace like that. And they also sell it amazon. Or an as alternative, you can just use cardboard in place of the foam. It'll just be flat instead of rounded.
