Very good idea when all you have is a square. I suggest doing at least three lines. Two lines will always intersect, no matter how innacurately you drew the lines, a third line will tell you how accurate you were (if they all intersect at the same point you know you were spot on). Similarly, you can be quite imprecise in drawing the lines, but draw as many lines as you want, and you will make a spot in the middle where all lines missed (because every line was slightly off centre), and this is the true centre. Only need a few lines to get a very close estimate of the exact centre.

🤔 Since you have a set square, wouldn't this be easier → position the inside corner on the circle and mark where the arms cross the circle (no measuring needed), joining these marks gives a diameter. Do it again to get another diameter crossing the first, and where the diameters cross is the centre. This is based on the rule that all inscribed right triangles lie on the diameter of the circle.

Perhaps find the widest width with a ruler. That will be the diameter and half that will be the radius and you can draw a circle on paper using that length and place it on the piece for best fit. There are more precise ways using geometry, but they are a bit more complex too.

@lylestavast7652 eye it at first then from that eyed center draw the biggest circle that will fit on your slab from that center. Keep making the circle bigger; moving the center until you find the largest circle that will fit within the boundary of the edges...then find center of that circle. That will get you close.....but if your building a table and your irregular shape is the top; then beef up your support to handle the irregularity of the weight distribution. You could find the biggest square or rectangle that will fit then draw straight line from corner to corner both ways to make an "x". The crossing lines is center of rectangle or square. Still; pay attention to weight distribution.

There's an easier way, using the same tools, that requires no measuring. Any right angle triangle, with all three corners touching a circle, will have a hypotenuse that perfectly divides that circle. Put the corner of the square on the circle, just like you did in the video, but instead of drawing chords, just mark the two points where the legs of the square intersect the circle. Those two points will be exactly opposite one another regardless of the size of the circle or the orientation of the square. Draw a line between those two points. Turn the square roughly 90 degrees, for a clearer intersection, and repeat the process. The point where those two lines intersect will be the center point of the circle.

Since you have a protractor and a straight edge, you can simply measure the diameter of the circle by dragging the straight edge across the circle until it is widest. Mark the intersection of your straight edge and the perimeter. Measure this line and divide by 2. That is your center. To double check, set your protactor to the radius, with the pin on the exterio point and draw an arc. Set your pin on a random point on the perimeter and draw an arc through the center. They should both cross at the center. You can do this as many times as you want. If you end up crossing at a point other than center, you are off. You could also simply do the fist step several times. It should cross at the center.

If you have a square, or the L shaped ruler, put a corner on the circle and draw both perpendicular lines to meet with the circle at two points. Move the square to one of those points, use the one line as a guide and draw a third line to the circle. You now have 4 points. Cross them with straight lines, and you've got the center. ---- Another way: ---- If you have a compass, place the needle on the circle and draw a smaller circle (you'll see, later on, that a full circle is not needed). Place the pencil part on the large circle, close to the smaller circle, and turn until the needle is on the large circle. From there, make another smaller circle (same radius of the first smaller circle). Repeat once more. You have just created two lenses. Draw a line from one lens' pointy points from the outside one through the other into the circle, way beyond what you guess is the center (or, simply, cross the circle). Do the same with the other lens. The lines will meet in the center of the circle.

To find the center of a circle using a ruler and a pencil, you can follow these steps: Draw a chord across the circle using your ruler and pencil. Draw another chord that intersects the first chord, creating an "X" shape within the circle. Use your ruler to measure the midpoint of each chord. Draw a line connecting the midpoints of the chords. This line will pass through the center of the circle. Repeat with a different pair of chords intersecting at a different angle. The point where the lines intersect is the center of the circle.

I know this is four years old but I have my fingers crossed how would you find the centre on the bottom of of a soda can ?

@@spraggerdogwilko333 I’d trace it on paper, like I did the bowl and find the center on the paper. Then lay the paper over the bottom of the can and mark through the hole

Thank you for sharing.

You can also just set the compass at half the measured diameter of the circle and then draw two or three arcs with the pin of the compass on several poits along the circle. Where the arcs cross, that the center.

There are lots of ways to do it and not everyone has a compass, or one that would work on big circles.

The easier way is to just use the compass. Now if you don't have then this method will work.

Agreed, and this method works on circles bigger than you may have a compass to do arcs large enough with

Isn’t there a way to find the centre with dangling string? I remember doing it but can’t remember

This being 2 steps, you can build up a tolerance of error. Make sure your pencil is very sharp.

I like mechanical pencils for that reason. But is why I do it on paper first, to get my compass setting. Lines are too light for wood. I use a pen for that

That “compass” will not point to magnetic north. That tool is “a PAIR” of compasses.

Very intuitive trick. Just seeing and reading your thumbnail I was able to deduce how to do it. I watched the video for verification. Additionally, this is very rememberable in its simplicity.

I prefer using a compass set to the radius dimension (1/2 the diameter) to find the center.

That works if you already know the diameter. If you’re working with a random dog bowl to make a feeder, like I was, that may not be possible

Why not do perpendicular to two tangents at the tangent point? This gets rid of all the measuring.

To maximize accuracy the segment lines should be near 90 deg in proportion to each other. You say "wide angle". In this case 90 degrees is best "wide angle".
