What happens here

Place the prepared nail (with the attached tape) firmly onto the desired center point of the glass surface. Next, take a tape measure and extend it to the desired radius. In this demonstration, the goal is an 8-inch diameter circle, so the radius is set to 4 inches. Hold the tape measure against the nail at the center and position a marker (a red Sharpie is used in the video) at the end of the tape measure, aligning it with the desired radius. Ensure the tape measure is taut and the marker tip is in consistent contact with the glass. Carefully rotate the marker around the nail, maintaining consistent pressure and tension on the tape measure, to draw a complete and clear circle on the glass. Remember to account for the marker's tip size for precise measurements.

Goal: Create a precise circular mark on the glass surface.

Tools and materials

  • Sharpie Marker — Marking the circle onto the glass surface
  • Tape Measure — Measuring and setting the precise radius for the circle
  • Taped Nail — Serving as the fixed center point for the drawing radius

What they say

Hide

head. It prevents wobble. Just take your nail, rip off a little piece of tape, push your nail through the tape. All right, so now that you got your nail where you want it, go ahead and find your radius, which in our case we're going to do an 8-in circle, so half of 8, right? So, anyways, don't forget to account for the tip size, but put that right there like so. And there you go. So, now we go ahead and we'll measure it. And that's right on eight there.
