Default Cannot find cheap compass for scribing...

I am trying to find one of those cheap ass compasses like I used in high
school geometry to scribe a cabinet to a wall. Think I can find one
anywhere? All I can find are high end ones with things pointing out of them
that would make them impossible to scribe with.

Any ideas where I can get one? Any better ways to scribe a cabinet to a
wall?


Flea market [or yard sale or auction] for el cheapo [don't go that
way] or a decent drafting compasses. Or, as someone suggested, make
your own, but I'd put just a little bit of effort into it. You might
even also come across one of those larger ones used by teachers for
the blackboard, and use a pencil instead of the chalk, with a shim to
fit.
