I had a project that I was doing but was battling to draw perfect large circles and could not find big enough plates and objects to draw around. So this was the solution.
I cut 2 strips of scrap wood 45cm in length x 2cm width (This can be any size you want) and drilled a hole in the tops of both and added the screw, a washer between the 2 pieces of wood and screwed it all together with a wing nut.
I cut the head of a large nail and drilled I hole in the bottom of one and hammered in the nail
And on the other side I taped a marker pen, a pencil can be used if you want. And now I can draw perfect circles every time.
Enjoyed the project?
Suggested materials:
- Scrap wood
- Wing nut and bolt
- Marker pen and nail
