How do you not have more views on this?? To me, this was the simplest, easiest to follow set of directions I've found so far. Thank you so much. You saved me a heck of a lot of time and frustration! 👍❤️
AWESOME!! Finally got the answer to that question!! Great video! Right now I'm making 12" spools out of wood to store my many different yarns that tangle so badly. I could not center those holes to save me until now. I tried every measuring technique I could find, but this one saved the day..... Thank you, so much!
Hello ... you would have any idea how I should go about finding the centre of a curved oval..... The back of an office chair I have is oval shaped and jjust for an added bit of complication it is also curved. I'll be applying reflective (glass) micro mosaics to the back.... which are 5mm square....and yes, you're right I'll be using a lot, luckily for me they come in sheets. The single most important thing for me is to make sure everything is straight, I want to make sure as many tiles as possible are aligned.... perhaps 5pc won't be, but I can live with that.... Apologies for the rather long winded question.... Big thanks .... Phil (UK)
The “curved” oval is throwing me off. A flat oval would be easy: take a paper rectangle the length & width of the oval, folded in half twice would give you the center. Honestly though I think your own eye would tell you if it looked “off”. Start with the rectangle paper template, folded as I stated and start at that point and work out from the center. You could use some temporary adhesive and step back to see if it looks centered. Once you are happy you can use your permanent adhesive. I think that your eye will be a better judge of “center” than mathematical center because of the change of plane.
@@70acres Hello.... Thank you for the speedy reply. The curve is quite typical for a "tulip" chair by Pierre Paulin. I'll take it as a flat oval as you suggest and get folding.... For clarity, measure the max length horizontal ...the max ht vertical... create a rectangle with those two measurement, fold in half, then in half gain, I'm then presented with the centre line of the oval. Sounds good, I can then create squares and other horizontal lines....which will be useful when position the little mosaic tile. Big thanks for your help with this.... Phil
This video is so wonderful! Can you kindly tell me the exact name of this type of ruler? I’m not having any luck searching for it. Thank you, Melissa ❤
I would use a colored pencil or chalk to make the mark. Alternatively you could use a dead ball point pen to "score" the center marks. Do it just hard enough to see the marks but not hard enough to cut the foam.
Just measure across your circle and find the highest measurement, mark each side of that measurement and draw a line across then bisect the line and you have your centre, these amateur geometry teachers make it all seem like Rocket science.

Excellent presentation that was very easy to understand. Thank you.
Thanks, easiest method on UA-cam!
I don't understand how you actually have that middle of the circle 😮
This was brilliant and exactly what I needed.
Great info just when I needed it most.
Thanks
Excellent, many thanks from the Netherlands!

@@phillipsargeant1936 Glad I could help!
I love these brilliantly simple solutions
Thanks for making this simple! ☺️
Super easy and quick way to find the center of a circle. Guess I should have paid more attention in high school!
Great information, exactly what I was searching for. Thanks
Hello,
I really this video very informative. T he question is where do I buy that ruler.
Thank you.
Any larger hardware store or home improvement store should carry them.
very well presented and straight to the point (center)
Amazing. I was trying to measure and junk. This is lovely. Thanks!
Beautiful!
This video is so wonderful! Can you kindly tell me the exact name of this type of ruler? I’m not having any luck searching for it. Thank you, Melissa ❤
Thanks. It is called a framing square or a carpenter’s square and it can be purchased in any hardware store or online.
Very helpful. Thanks!
simple yet very helpful. Thank You! :D
I like how you showed that the beveled edge of the piece of wood was where you make your first reference mark.
Thank you mellusa. Best center finding wideo on UA-cam sofar.
I'm trying to find the center of a black foam disc and and I can't mark on it. How do you find the center if you can't do markings
I would use a colored pencil or chalk to make the mark. Alternatively you could use a dead ball point pen to "score" the center marks. Do it just hard enough to see the marks but not hard enough to cut the foam.

So easily explained 👌👌
Wow! Geometry is magic!
Thanks for making a project that I've been putting off look easy!
Great lesson, thanks
Thanks for watching, Matthew!
Thank you so much, this is great knowledge..
Quick, easy, and gets the job done! Thanks so much! Had to put a mounting bracket on a circular sign for a wedding shower. Worked out great!

I can remember this fine method.
ThNk you my dear
Nice …. and easy. Thank you!

Muchas grasias
Thank you so much..Great video.
Thanks for watching, Cindy.
Thanks for the great tip! Wish I had paid more attention in Geometry Class! LOL!
Thank you great help
Glad it helped
Thank you😄
Helped me to make a dartboard lighting surround just now :)
the best way thank you dear
Simple but excellent solution. Thank you! Rosie could be a dog food model.
Rosie is now 15 and still looks really good! Thanks for your kind comment!

Easy!
Worst part was a Biden commercial at the beginning. Tired of political crap
Get UA-cam Premium...no more commercials
I have no control over what commercials run. UA-cam and only UA-cam decides that. sorry
Almost four minutes to find the center!!
Thank you very much.
