Yes, it is quite simple.

Draw a straight line segment, AB. Put the compass point at A and open it so that the pencil point is at B. Then draw an arc. Next, without changing the compass setting move it to B and draw another arc to cut the previous arc at C. [Actually there will be two points, one on either side of AB.] Using the straight edge, join AC and BC. Then ABC is an equilateral triangle.

How do you construct an equilateral triangle?

Draw a point. Set your compass to a certain length and mark an arc from the point to make a line. With the same measurement make an arc above the line from both endpoints. Using a straightedge, connect both endpoints to the two arcs intersections. Done.
