The compass is a general symbol of Masonry, and has no specific meaning for every Mason everywhere. A Lodge may have a rough outline of its meaning, or a very thorough description, or nothing at all leaving members free to make their own meaning of it.
There are a few different kinds of compass. To make a compass that makes circles you could use a pencil and tie it to another pencil and trace circles.
To make a circle using a compass and a ruler, first place the compass point on the paper where you want the center of the circle to be. Adjust the compass width to the desired radius of the circle. Keeping the compass width the same, draw a complete circle by rotating the compass around the center point. Use a ruler to ensure the circle is drawn accurately and smoothly.
