► Im launching a new series: Wooden Weaponry's woodworking tips!
► Episodes of this series won't be uploaded an a regular base like my other videos. I will upload a new one whenever I find a new woodworking tip that appears share-worthy to me.
► Regarding this tip: The height of the tip of the pencil ( + the wood you lay under it ) should be similar to the radius of the dowel. The smaller the difference is, the smaller the circle will be.
► Let me know what you think of this series in the comments below!
► You can of course suggest new ideas for this series! :)

I wouldn't go that far, it's only a dowel.

Best tip I've found to do that that does not require a drill press or two hours of work to make a jig, thanks!

Fantastic! I tried it and it worked exactly - I found the center of the dowel. Great video! You're the best.

Great!!!! Thank you. I wasted so much time drawing lines across the diameter and I never did find the true center.

Thanks mate you just saved my sanity in me trying to create my duel contact rod switch for my light pulsater. All the best mate....

Really helpful, thank you. A suggestion and I am not criticizing or complaining because this was very helpful, the first part of the video was very dark. You might consider editing that out and skipping to where you clamp the pencil down. That is where the video is bright enough to see the pencil marks. Thanks again!

Use a square and tie a string going 45 degrees to a nail on a board to the intersect of the square. Take a market and soak the string in ink. Then just tap the dowel down into the corner turn then tap again. X Mark's the center spot. EZ PZ

I found the center of my wooden curtain rods so much more efficiently than my husband did! Genius! I'm curious if the size of the wood that it rests on needs to be increased based on the diameter of the dowel/rod?

Holy crap that really works good !!

@dalegray934 2 жыл бұрын

Just used your method. Used a pad of sticky notes adjusted for approximate height (including the pencil) and achieved perfection.

@maxim.meister 7 жыл бұрын

Ah, sehr hilfreich sache. Ist wahrscheinlich einer der einfachsten Methode, fürs mittige bohren

@WoodenWeaponry 7 жыл бұрын

Wahrscheinlich.. Wenn man jetzt noch genau gerade durch den rundstab bohren könnte, wäre es perfekt :D

@maxim.meister 7 жыл бұрын

Wooden Weaponry Das geht eigentlich gut. Hast du eine standbohrmaschiene ? Wenn ja besorg dir mal Prismenklemmen, die sind fürs mittige bohren hervorragend, falls keine Standbohrmaschiene vorhanden ist, solltest du dir als günstige Alternative ein Ständer kaufen/besorgen. Weiter so deine Videos sind toll und inspirierend :)

But doesn't the height of the pencil and whatever it is resting on have to be exactly half the height of the round object you are marking?

Hallo, ich liebe deinen Kanal und fragte mich, ob du ein Video machen kannst, wie man eine Drehmaschine benutzt? Grüße aus Deutschland!

@WoodenWeaponry 7 жыл бұрын

Hi Plastic Brikk, Ich habe tatsächlich letztens eine Drehbbank gebaut, aber selber noch nicht so viel Ahnung davon.. Vielleicht mache ich in ferner Zukunft ein Video darüber, bis dahin würde ich dir aber Kanäle wie HolzWerkenTV ( oder einfach die YT-Suche ) empfehlen :) Das Internet ist groß! Liebe Grüße ebenfalls aus Deutschland, WW
