What's up? It's Circle Sundays. Did you know you can draw a circle with a framing square? Let's get after it. All right, take your framing square here and figure out how big of a circle you want. In our case, let's do 8 in. So, we're going to put it right here. And then we're going to go to the 8. We're going to drop a nail right here. So, now take your tongue. Take your tongue and your body. Rest it on each nail like so. Just put your marker, your Sharpie, your pencil, whatever the case is up here. And maintain pressure. Right? Bring it back up to the top. Same thing. Just like that. Go ahead and flip it over. Do the same thing. It's easier on this side cuz you can put pressure. Bring it back up to the top. Maintaining that marker right there. And just like that, you an 8-in circle. Anyways, I got to keep working in this garage. I'll catch you guys. Peace.
