Compass and Straightedge = rationals and square roots
Origami = rationals, square roots and cube roots (I think)
How far can we get if we use other tools, like rulers, protractors, pieces of string, etc? Can we cover all the algebraic numbers?

Is there any construction method that yields all algebraic numbers?
