What happens here

After drawing the first arc, carefully lift the framing square and either flip it over or rotate it to the opposite side of the two nails. Re-align the arms of the framing square so they again rest firmly against each nail, with the inside corner positioned where the next arc needs to be drawn. Place your marking tool back into the inside corner and repeat the pivoting motion. This will draw the second semi-circular arc, connecting it perfectly with the first one to form a complete 8-inch circle.

Goal: Finish drawing the circle by creating the second arc to connect with the first.

Tools and materials

  • Framing Square — To guide the marking tool for the second arc of the circle
  • Marking Tool — To draw the remaining portion of the circle
  • Wood scrap with nails — The workpiece, now with anchor points and the first arc completed

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.
