Members Gezzer Posted June 17, 2023 Author Members Report Posted June 17, 2023 Thanks Chuck . No orienteering but around here if you walk a bearing for 30 minutes most likely you will hit some kind of road or trail . Quote

Members SUP Posted June 23, 2023 Members Report Posted June 23, 2023 That is nice and a lot more individual than a generic compass in its metal casing. Very nice indeed. Quote Learning is a life-long journey.
Members ThisIsMyFirstRodeo Posted August 5, 2024 Members Report Posted August 5, 2024 Dude. That… is awesome! So question: I try my hardest not to “steal” someone else’s ideas/designs for my own profit, so would you give me your blessing to use the concept for my side project? I think there could be at least a limited market here (I don’t even have a storefront, real or virtual, just setting a couple displays at 2 or 3 local businesses). But yeah, I really like it! Quote
Members Gezzer Posted August 5, 2024 Author Members Report Posted August 5, 2024 @ThisIsMyFirstRodeo BLESSING GIVEN !!!!!!!!!! Take it and run with it however you want Quote
Members Aventurine Posted August 9, 2024 Members Report Posted August 9, 2024 (edited) I like that a lot. I have a similarly encased old barometer. WWI wristwatches were made much the same way. Edited August 9, 2024 by Aventurine Quote
