Beam Compass - Paint Stick

My wife is an artist, and sometimes wants to draw large circles on a canvas. So I made her this beam compass. It uses a stirring stick for a standard 5 gallon paint bucket as the beam.

You will need these parts:
- 1x Stirring stick for a 5 gal paint bucket (6.3 mm x 38.4 mm cross-section)
- 1x 4d 1-1/2" smooth box nail (or something close)
- 2x 4mm nut
- 2x 4mm x 20mm socket head cap screw (1x 16mm and 1x 20mm is ideal)
- 1x 4mm washer
- and a pencil

To install the nail and the cap screws, I heated them enough to melt the PLA and then pushed them into place. They all retained nicely that way. Or you could drill-out the holes a bit and then glue them in.

If you have a Lowe's wooden yardstick, try this design instead:
