Homemade Center Finder
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 сер 2024
- Making a simple, but accurate center finder from scraps of laminate flooring. It will be used mostly for woodturning, to mark the center of blanks.
Laminate flooring is a great material for workshop projects since it's basically MDF covered in melamine on both sides.
I used the factory edges to get an accurate square then used it's diagonal to mark the 45 degree angle for the ruler. The ruler itself is a piece of leftover aluminum transition strip.

This one goes straight on the todolist!
Happy you liked it Willem!
You all probably dont care at all but does anyone know a method to log back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot the login password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
@Emerson Wilson Instablaster :)
@Milo Roland i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Milo Roland It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much you really help me out!
Love this video. No small talk, no stupid music, (good editing).
Attention all you-tube DIY'ers, please learn from this person.
funny...while watching this, an advertisement popped up for a center finder for $28.07. I think I like your better. Great idea
The algorithms decided that it was relative to you. It is one of the rare cases that it was actually relative to you. Be happy. :)
The algorithms never work for me. Yesterday someone sent me a link to a gross video and the ad before the video was about food. xD
Yes indeed to the point with out all the fluff and bother very humble
Excellent editing choices made for the perfect flow
Looking forward to the next one
Well done Sir
I just subscribed to your channel. No talking, no life story, just doing the job, that's what I like.
Thanks! To be honest this kind of videos is a lot easier to make than the ones with a proper host.
Nice! I like your simple approach and attention to details.
Thanks!
Great project. Here in the Philippines, I would surly here "out of stock" at any local hardware store. The sad part is, several times I had to "eyeball" the center and live with the results. This is now on my to do list as soon as we return from a visa run to Thailand. Thank you for the inspiration.
Out of stock is still something, here where I live they never heard of such tool :)
I was going to buy a center finder, but you have just inspired me to make one. thank you very much.
THANK YOU!!! I have been needing one of these forever! Never got around to making one, have all the materials so I'm off to the workshop to make one right now! :)
Beauty, simplicity and elegance. Great, I shall now have to make one. Thanks friend, pierre from New Mexico
Thanks for not bombarding your video with loud distracting stupid music ! Good build and very handy !
Video Format: Excellent. No useless dialog, no stupid grunge music, short and to the point.
Shop Practices: I get a little anxious watching your fingers in harm's way on that table saw!
Thanks for your concern, but that is a 2 inch blade that only sticks around a quarter inch above the table. So worst case scenario it nicks my fingers! ...But, given my recent luck, it will probably pull me into the saw one day... bet that would make a great video!
Finally!!!!!! Something that can be used on the end of a barrel tapered dovel, instead of the blade cut 90 degrees jig
Easy to build and precise tool. I am happy to find your channel. h also have a small shop. So, it's good to learn from one with same basic tools. thank you.
Late to the party, very clever, and a great idea about the flooring. Many Thanks!
gotta be close to one of the coolest home made tools i've seen to date,, once made ,,the handiness of it is the shit.
Simple to the point and yet An excellent design! Bravo
I laughed at your "Math is funny" caption when rotating the square wooden piece. I never realised that centre finders worked on square pieces at funny angles. Interesting fact.
You basically built a center square, but very ingenious none the less!!
A well needed tool.. That is something that I've needed many of times in the past and I know I'll be making one very soon in the future.. Thanks
Thank you too! Like I said in a previous comment, it's a super easy project.
Nice! That is so much better than the one I made out of old lasagna noodles.
thanks so much, I have never seen a tool like this, and it's so simple.. like a speed square.. I'm fairly new to woodworking
Small Workshop... you are amazing and so efficient with your vids, keep them coming!!!
interesting and handy little mini table saw. too bad you don't have a vid on that.
he has one :)
excellent job, like the chuck holding the tap.........
Your channel is going to make me very busy making things lol.
Thumbs up for that trick marking the square.
True craftsmanship!!
Thanks for this video, i am a beginner wood lathe user this will help a lot
I have one and it's a must have that tool.
The time you save an the Précision you can work with this tool is not normal every ironworker must have one 😁😁😁😁👌👌
Parabéns meu amigo um belo equipamentos ótimo vídeo, fiquei impressionado com o tamanho da serra muito bacana.
man, when i first saw that table saw i thought, "my god, this man is a giant!" Great video, i'll need to make one of these
LOL Likewise
Very good workmanship, we are not supposed to use vernier as scriber.
Beautifully executed - will make one soon...Bravo
Very clever, you are displaying your ninja skills.
Excellent again, thanks for sharing. I'm off to the shed now
Very nice.. I know it's an old video but cool idea for flooring scraps.
Very handy little tool, all the best Harry
Thank you Harry!
Simple is good. Well done.
Thank u sir for showing to make this wonderful tool at home such a simple device
Neat. It is one of those things that could come handy sometimes, but too lazy to make one because it is needed so rarely.
That is too cool and super useful. Now I gotta make one for myself
Cool idea. Also no techno music. A++ TYVM
Very smart idea for video, spending time to make such a thing is definitely worth for all the uses of this tool. A great and important project for an amateur like me. Very enjoyable videos, well done!
You may not be a genius but you will do till one comes along! Great video.
LOL, thanks, I guess!
love the tap handle. blew my mind with the math is funny section, never noticed that. happy new subscriber
Freakin awesome! Great idea!
you making great stuff!
and i really like the way you make your videos. big thumb up!
easy and nice to follow. i wish there was more people like that on youtube.
subscribed!
have a nice day, geko
just watched all videos - looking forward to seeing more project.
Thank you, I have some in progress, hope to have a new video out soon.
Nice looking and useful tool, excellent work. I like your precision a LOT.
Brilliant this is one Item I will be coping
Awesome videos. Easy to follow, very clear and always making something useful! Great job.
Your comment makes me very happy, since that's exactly what I try to achieve when I make these videos: to make them easy and useful. Thank you!
Nice project and video. I always enjoy your videos. They are well done, have fine workmanship, and get to the point quickly. Thanks for these.
Thank you very much for all your comments Dave!
Awesome!, and I made one. Now you should make a video on how you made that little table saw.
Nice job brother.
Thank you for posting this, I had seen this piece of kit in another of your videos, great job
Thank you again
That's a cute lil table saw...
A tip to straighten out bent bits is to drive them all the way into some solid wood a couple times.
Thank you, will try that!
great video! i have been wondering how to make one of these for a while now!
Thanks! It's very easy to make, whole thing took less than an hour.
I'm definitely making one of these!
Go for it mate, it's fast to make and has lots of uses, especially if you are a woodturner.
like your tap holder !
love this idea very, very clean work well done
Nicely done toolwork, you'll be one of the best nine finger carpenters out there if you keep cutting that way🤣🤣🤣
Ya no music , who cares about the bent drill bit shaking . I have a few . great video thanks.
Outstanding, genius idea.
Thanks heaps.
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for the idea.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️💐
Bravo! You are as Leonardo!
Greetings from Italy. 😃
Great build! I need one of these!
:) Awesome seeing DIY stuff made locally. Nice shop and nice tools. That screwdriver handle is awesome.
Last time i saw somebody using a "analog" caliper was 15 years ago and that was the last day of work of my dad.
TIP: When you drill aluminium use small steps, plunge retract plunge retract. AL and other soft alloys drilled or machined with a steel purpose tool have a nasty tendency to stick to the tool resulting a pull of the tool into the material causing unexpected problems. Yes that is a thin profile but i bet you hand secured on the other end.
Keep Up.
Multumesc! I was surprised myself when I noticed there are few DIYers from our country, at a time we were proud we can fix everything. I guess today we are more proud when we can buy everything.
Thanks for the tip, sometimes I follow safety rules, sometimes I take chances and sometimes I get hurt. In this case the aluminum was clamped to the wood piece and the tail of the clamp itself prevented rotation in case the tool caught. I need to make a proper table for the drill press to allow better clamping but I have little time for the workshop and a long to do list :)
Andrei Sima ,foarte frumos
Very nice tool. Thanks for posting. I'll have to make one.
Thank you too!
yep, im going to build this
Thank for sharing! Love it....I'll add this to my shop tools for sure!
Thank you too Tony!
That midget table saw is so cute
Thanks, it has a 2 inch carbide blade now and it's even cuter, LOL. It can now pretend it's a real saw. But to be honest, I find it extremely useful, it's so quiet I can use it at night with my family sleeping two doors down the hall. And it can cut half inch in one go, so I can cut up to an inch thick material if i flip it, which is more than enough for most projects. And it's not as scary as a full size saw.
quick and easy! Absolutely nice!
Thank you!
thank you for sharing you idea
Should have Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata playing during this video...beauty in simplicity!
Superb idea
I like the tap handle you use haha
Great simple instructions to build your own handy tools. Just one comment, I would keep that aluminum end at right angle. Try to minimize sharp edges in the shop to be safe. ;-) Thumbs up!!
Nice. I know what my next project is going to be.
No fluff. It’s a montage without any music or voiceover.
Thank you.
Clean build, good stuff. Gonna check out that mini table saw and probably subscribe.
table saw even sounds cute.
fine job
ok, that was really great!
Thank you!
Nice work. Think I'll have to make one too.
