Very handy, and so simple and quick to put together! Using hose clamps to hold the nail and the pen is genius. Your photos and instructions are very clear, also. Nice job!

I wish I had this the last time I needed a large compass. The string method works best if you have two people. This looks like it only takes one person to use it.

Nice. I think that this is probably the biggest compass that I have seen. Very cool.
