If you're wondering how to find the center of a circle in drilling, there are many ways to do it. Both simple and complex methods of measuring work equally well. To trace two lines perpendicular to the circle, place a carpenter’s knife on the material. Next, use a straightedge or pencil to draw a third line parallel to these lines.
Use a center square
A center square is useful if you plan to drill a hole in the center of a circle. This method, however, is less precise than using a centersquare for other purposes such as drawing a model or drilling a hole in a circle. First, determine the diameter of your circle to drill.
Use a hole saw
To locate the center of the circle, use a holesaw to drill a pilot through the material. It is important that the pilot hole be securely anchored to something so that drilling does not cause material to spin or jump. Once you have the holesaw in the right place, make sure everything is secure. Also, you must ensure that you have enough lubricant on your drill.
Use a carpenter’s round
While it may be difficult to use a carpenter’s straightedge for drilling holes in a circle, this can be done easily with the help of simple measuring tools. You can best use the square, an essential tool for a carpenter by placing its outer corners on a circular. Then, draw two parallel lines across the circle from the outside edge of the square. Next, you will draw a third perpendicular line using a ruler, straight edge or a pencil.
Use a pencil
First, draw the line through circle. The line should be parallel with the mark M on circle. It should also intersect the other lines C and B. The center of circle will be the intersection between the lines that make up the vertical center line. You can draw a straight line through the center using a straightedge. One straight edge can be used, but the pencil's lead should touch the circle.
Calculator
It is not always easy to find the center of a circle that can be used for drilling. To find the center, there are two ways. First, draw parallelograms and measure distance between points A-B. Then, draw another line through the intersections of the first two lines. The intersection point of these two lines is the center of the circle. The second method is simpler, but you can still use a compasse to verify it.

- If your lumber isn't as dry as you would like when you purchase it (over 22% in Glen Huey's opinion…probably over 10-15% in my opinion), then it's a good idea to let it acclimate to your workshop for a couple of weeks. (woodandshop.com)

How To
How to make wooden joints
This tutorial will show you how to join two pieces of wood together. We will be using the "pocket-hole joint", which involves drilling holes in wood and then gluing them together. This works well if the wood is straight and smooth. If your wood isn't straight or flat, you might want to try another method, such as dowel joinery. Here are the steps
-
Drill Pocket Hole Joints. Start by measuring and marking the spot where the pocket hole joint will be placed. Then drill 3/4 inch deep holes into the ends of each piece of wood using a jig saw or handheld drilling machine.
-
Sand Smooth. Sanding the wood's edges will ensure that the joint doesn't split.
-
Glue Together Apply glue to both sides of the wood. Let it sit for about 5 minutes before clamping the pieces together.
-
Fix the Pieces together. After the glue has dried completely, you can clamp the pieces together until they are flush.
-
Trim Joinery. Trim the excess wood around the joint after the glue has dried completely.
Be sure to leave enough space between each piece so that they can be turned inside-out.
