The left point is held with socket head cap screws. The beams are hand planed dovetails; very smooth and accurate. The points/pencil are held in place with tapered wooden pins I whittled. Actually, they are mostly held in place by friction, but the pins are there in case the holes get looser. The top half of the point holders have a larger hole which slides easily across the point.
This photo is garbage, but here is the long and short one next to each other. The long one will draw a 800mm radius or so.
Wok handle (just the wooden part), I made of alder. Air dried alder is so nice to work with. Some pieces end up looking a bit like cherry too, like this one. Wok seasoning under way.
Golden ratio dividers, made of cherry. Can do about a 5.5' span. Uses shoulder screws, so the wood pivots on a smooth surface and the screws won't come loose.
Dammit!
