It’s circle Sunday

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video introduces the DIY project: how to draw a circle using a speed square. The creator then positions a nail onto a wooden surface, which will serve as the center point of the circle. He places a Big Jig speed square with one of its corner holes aligned over the nail, allowing it to pivot freely around the nail. Next, he selects a scribe hole along the edge of the speed square and inserts a pencil into it. The choice of scribe hole determines the radius of the circle.

Goal: Prepare the speed square, nail, and pencil for drawing a circle

Tools and materials

  • Nail — Serving as the fixed pivot point or center of the circle
  • Pencil — Marking the circle on the surface
  • Speed Square Big Jig — Acting as the arm of the compass and providing scribe holes for the pencil
  • Wooden Surface — The material on which the circle is drawn

How to draw a circle with a speed square. Let's get after it. Take your square. Put it around your nail like that. Take your pencil. Lock it in any one of your scribe holes here. You can use this one or 3-in. I'm going to use this one and just run it around. Just like that, you have a circle. It's Sunday. I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
