Burt's Solar Compass

Too pricy for me. I've been fascinated by them for decades. If I had nothing else to do (ha) I'd get more shop tools and try making one.

I recall someone posted on the predecessor forum pictures of a somewhat crude model they made. I think it used wood and plastic protractors. Definitely demonstrated the principles.

@bill93 I got to use one at a solar compass workshop taught by Tim Kent last weekend. They are very cool! I'm hoping to get one so I can make videos on how to use them. Trying to keep the GLO history alive 🙂

Here is a great source for info and purchasing:

You can't do any better than Russ for this stuff.

@dms330 thank you so much!
