    love it! I have a compass like that I was looking for a use for it. But there is no cup holder showing in your photo, I guess I'll have to wait for the Video to find out.

    kzread.info/dash/bejne/aYqYurdrdtvNqrA.html The compass still gets disturbed 😕 You see it moving back and forth, maybe the screw at the handle is already magnetised enough to cause this. You could check if you encounter the same behaviour with a messing screw that you used for the side?

    I've been subscribed to your Patreon page for more than a year but only for $1, and I honestly can't wait to bump it up more after following you for so long. The only thing that's holding me back is being on a really tight budget as a student, and I really just wanted to contribute whatever I could and not leave you completely unpaid for the amazing builds and content you upload! This build right here is another big reason why I love your videos is you have a very "normal" problem and you put so much creativeness with simplicity and such a big dose of personalization to "solve" these problems while being so resourceful as well. Love it!

Especially for traveling with an unknown destination. And I love how you can laugh at yourself, anyone who cannot do that has more problems than a non-functioning compass.

    Hey Laura. You just gave me a wonderful flashback. I don’t know if you’re aware, but back in the ‘70s and ‘80s when the big thing was to customize vans and trucks (here in USA), you’d see a bunch of consoles- with tambour! And of course, wall to wall shag carpet. No thanks. Anyway, when I got my first truck in the 80s it had a bench seat and, believe it or not, no cup holders. So my dads friend made me a tambour console with cup holders. Loved that truck, and you have brought me back to that time. So, thank you my dear for your increasingly amazing talent and irresistible loving nature you provide to all of us around the world. I’ve never not grinned while watching your videos. Many blessings from Texas. Troy
