Tree Reaper Report post Posted March 31, 2014 (edited) By Redochre Drawing a square with a compass/dividers & Rule. You will need: Compass/dividers, rule & a pencil. Steps: 1. Draw 2 parallel lines the height of your square apart (for this I did 100mm approx 4") 2. Decide on a start point. (Point A) Pic1 3. Set compass to approx 25mm/1" and mark both sides of point A. These will become point B & C. Pic2 4. Open the compass approx 125mm/5". From point B & C mark an arch high above point A. They should cross over, this is now point D. Pic3/4. 5. Draw a line through point D & A. You should now have a 90degree line. Pic5 6. Repeat steps 2-5 for the final side of the square or simply use the rule & measure across. This great for template making when you don't have a set square. You can use Pythagoras to make sure the line is 90degrees.
