Compass and Straight-edge by alozano on 2007-06-25 08:56:39

I just wanted to propose a round of golf-clapping for Warren for putting together the entries on compass and straight-edge constructions (a topic I am very fond of). The entries look just *great*, with really nice graphics that illustrate the process.
