Are the materials used confirmed? --Ketza 10:56, 27 June 2006 (CDT)
- Past confirmed. Made an 8.1QL compass using 1.9W olive oil (incidentally the amount a pottery jar holds), a pottery jar, and a needle. --Joshu 06:36, 28 June 2006 (CDT)
This was at the end of the page:
Thunderstruck :D note:Sry its fucked up it was late at night and cant be F***ed fixing it
Olive Oil Amount
Someone please doublecheck the amount of oil a compass uses - I used 1.9kg, it may just use all available oil above a certain weight, in which case a decanting method to minimize oil overusage should be outlined somewhere on this page.
heh. I used 0.1 --Uzetaab 10:01, 28 June 2006 (CDT)

If you put one potato and one corn in a Pottery Flask and add oil it will give you exactly 0.06kg of oil. Usefull to minimize waste if you ruin oil with low ql experiments.
skills involved?
Anyone know what skills are involved in making the compass? I doubt it purely depends on the ql of the needle and the unfinished compass.
