Steps:
Draw any line l and take a point O on it.
With O as centre and suitable radius, draw two arcs to cut line l at points A and B.
With A and B as centres, draw two arcs of equal radius cutting each other at C. Join OC and produce it. Then ∠BOC = 90°.
Now we bisect ∠BOC by drawing two equal arc from point B and F, cutting each other at point D. Join OD and the bisector is ray OD. Then ∠BOD = 45°.
Now to bisect ∠BOD, with O as centre and any suitable radius, draw an arc to meet OB at P and OD at Q.
With P and Q as centres and equal radii , draw two arcs cutting each other at E.
Join OE and produce it to form a ray.

Hence, ray OE is the bisector of ∠BOD = 45°, and ∠BOE = ∠EOD = 22.5°.
