Often times when doing a woodworking or metal fabricating project I find myself needing to determine the center of a circle. Sometimes finding that point is critical and needs to be precise. This time that wasn't the case, but this method will make finding the center easy. Thanks for watching. I hope you find this tip helpful.

    This is the way that all YouTube informational videos should be - chill, to the point, and useful. Cheers!

    You can draw 2 lines of any length across the circle. Find the center of that line and draw a line perpendicular to it (as you did with your framing square). Do this with both lines and where the 2 perpendicular lines intersect is the center. This method you show works also but it just involves more steps and the length of the lines are irrelevant.

    I was taught this method when I was in shop/drafting class in 7th grade. 60 years ago. I forgot it thru the years but you brought back a fond memory for me. I got our teacher fired for calling me a dumbass in front of witnesses.

  • Yes buddy really helpful. Recently my mechanic has been off the job and I was all by myself wondering how to find the centre of a circle. Your video came to me the most useful way to find the centre of a circle. Thanks buddy.
