[Woodcarver] finding center

[Wynne Simmons]

Thanks guys,

 

I didn't want to buy a center finder for 1 or 2 dowels, so I was going
to try the diameter lines when I finally remembered my geometry.  I used
a compass set to approx. the radius and drew some intersecting arcs from
the outside of the dowel.  Worked great.

circle template, steel center finder
