Finding the Center of a Circle

Back in 79 when I was at school they chucked some old books out and I picked one up , one of the things in this book was the same as your method but using a square instead of a compass , a few years after that on a building site a brick layer had cut out a circle of wood for a template but not marked the centre to attach his line to , I showed him how to find the centre and he was amazed , it was for a circular window aperture .

What a palava!
Why not just place your compass at its greatest extent on the circle. There you have a diameter.
Simples.

Wtf

So I am not the only one who had a hard time finding it😃

Great tip ! I will make sure to use it !

Fuck it I'll just guess.

OMG, thank you so much! I was going mad trying to find the center of a large circle that my ruler was not large enough to measure. You saved me from a raging insane breakdown. lol

Amogus

Thank you

thank you. Learnt this in primary school over 50 years ago and had forgotten the method.

You are jinious

ചേട്ടന് മലയാളം അറിയത്തില്ലെന്നറിയാം അതോണ്ട് തന്നെ മലയാളത്തിൽ ഇടുവാ പിന്നെ സത്യം പറഞ്ഞാ ഇംഗ്ലീഷ് അത്രയ്ക്ക് വെല്ല്യ പിടിയൊന്നുവില്ല 🤪 മലയാളികൾ ആരേലും ഉണ്ടോന്നൂടെ അറിയാലോ 😁

You are so clear, easy to watch, listen to and understand. It looks so simple when we all know a circle isnt. I have tried so many video's to learn this, but your video? I got it on the first try. Thank you so much for putting this up. Also thank you for not saying a bunch of stuff to make a long uneeded "content" instruction. Straight to the point, and I will actually remember and keep the knowledge! Also I wish I could show a picture of the one I just did, it is not "perfect" lol none would be but it is darn close. I am so utterly impressed.

Brilliant, this is exactly what I was looking for, thank you. Building a prototype and needed to find the exact center of some wood I'm cutting out with a router.

I’ve been trying to remember how this was taught to me in school! Worst ever method!

So simple and amazing. Guess I just found another tool for my mental toolbox

Why do so many people make this difficult? Thank you, you have saved me hours of frustration.

Appreciated

good job

very useful, although what if the circle is incomplete (like a halo, for example)
