South Point Chariot

The South Point Chariot was developed by the Chinese many, many years ago. The purpose of the chariot was to keep track of the direction of travel. The name "South Point" is a little misleading because it will keep track of whatever direction you have the arrow pointing to.
After watching a few examples I decided this would be a fun wood working project. There are many examples of the South Point Chariot on the internet but not many made from wood. I was hoping to find a set of construction plans but to my knowledge there are none available. So I studied and analyzed the examples on the internet and wrote my own construction plans. If you would like to build this project, the complete construction plans are available on Amazon.com. Go to Amazon.com and type in South Point chariot or my name.
It is a fun project to build and generates a lot of attention while demonstrating it.
