Basically, you construct an equilateral triangle, and then you know that it must be equiangular, so you get 60 degree angles.
Draw a ray. Call the endpoint A.
Take your compass and draw an arc centered at A. It will intersect your ray at some point. Call this point B.
Keeping the radius the same, take your compass and center it at point B. Find where it intersects the arc you drew. Call this point C.
Now triangle ABC is equilateral (all three sides have the same length). So draw ray AC with your straightedge and you have your 60 degree angle.
I hope this helps!
