Make a Center Finder

Step 9 Use

No allowance has been made for the thickness of a pencil line. I like to use a knife to score a very fine line. Make three or more score lines from different positions around the work piece to see if your center finder is truly accurate. If it is not completely accurate, you will get a small triangle, which also marks the center rather well. I chose steel so it would stand up to the wear imposed on it from the knife I use for marking.

Thank you.  Unfortunately, it usually takes me a few attempts before I come to a really simple version of an idea.
