COMMENT: Do you have a center finder tool or even a center finding jig? If so, did you make or build your center finder jig? Do you have another technique for finding center that works well?

That is a profound improvement on the center finder that I was gonna make with dowels and a pencil for woodworking!
Hey Roy ,
That is a Neat little gadget !
I'll check out his Sight !
Be Safe and Take Care
Have a Blessed Day !
That is a great tool. They work very well.I made my first one 50 years ago when I was an apprentice all the apprentices had to make one.
That is a cool tool! Nice for people who always forget to measure... like me lol
Hello Roy and Jessica, I just watched your video on how you business grew over time and some of the things you went through. I am so happy to see you guys working so hard together and what you have accomplished. You both are a great inspiration and example of how a husband & wife should support and respect eachother.
I respect you both for your commitment to each other. God bless you both and your children and keep up the great work. Be safe and healthy. Sincerly,
R. Chavez
That looks like it would come in handy thanks for sharing
Great idea. Something to consider. The one I have for wood rides on two dowels and marks with a pencil in a center hole. Cheers.
That is a really cool tool. I have a center finding ruler that starts at 0 in the middle Works its way out each way, But that's cool. Thanks Roy
That last little bit about the edge line made me chuckle
Cool little device!
Way cool I've been in a fabrication/ engineering shop for about 5 yrs and wonder why I've never seen something like this, I normally set a stop on a ruler but it pays to mark both sides as sometimes the scribe actually most times isn't central thanks so much for sharing. God bless your day
Awesome little gadget! Would make finding center alot less aggravating! Lol! Thanks for sharing with us! Have an great Memorial day weekend! Keep on ⚒️ ing my friend! God bless!!
An overlooked but essential tool!
Morning Mr. Roy. Pretty kuul tool. Bet it comes in handy often.
🙏blessed day sir
Crawford out 🧙♂️
Very useful tool
Very cool!
Thanks for sharing Roy another awesome video .
Nice tool, I vaguely recall trying to make something like that when I worked in aluminum fabrication, but don't recall using it much - probably wasn't accurate enough drilling for what I wanted. Will have to try again.
Another variant on this idea that I made once, a single piece of bar, drill bushing in the middle, and two pins on either side. Not my idea at all but I forget where I heard about it. Geometry works great but too easy to "helicopter" on the drill press and only fits one drill size.
Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
Sweet little tool there Roy thanks for sharing this I think I need one... God Bless... Martin
I really want one of these
Great tool will have to look in to getting one
Carpenters use something similar, but that particular design was designed by gunsmiths.
Love this
Cool! Thanks for sharing!
Smart

where art thou its been two days without a video, hast thou moved to michigan, ist thou on vacation, dist somthing happen to thou?
your videos are part of my morning routine, I feel a bit off without seeing a new one, just wondering
Cool Tool
Roy- can you advise his web site or how to order one? Watched this again today and can really see the need for one of f these
ah that would really help for making things that got to be punched and drifted like hammers or axes to line up evenly, it beats trying to do it useing averages and math to find it when you cant get an accurate mesurment like me often times, though I do woodwork though with splitting wood same thing applies or drilling into something, and its faster to do it with something like this I think.
Nice!
Would that find the center of a long taper, like from 1 1/2” down to a point in about 8”? Like if you were making a dagger.
No, i think it will be offset from the center. It only works with parallel sides I believe.
I think it would work. The floppy little legs would ride along the edges, getting closer as it goes down the taper, but would keep the scribe centered.
Like he showed, it can’t scribe all the way to the edge though.
@@starkcd agreed. even if it wouldnt do the start or the end of the taper you just do the middle and with a metal ruler line it up using the center mark and finish the scribe line by hand
If he has a.patten It unlawfull to build for sales.But its OK to build for personal use by law
...I wouldn't build but for myself.
