That was way too difficult. Three lines running through the circumference shows you the center.

It's under the little man in the boat & above the chocolate starfish

Men like this built the world. I wish I was more like him and knew less about Microsoft Excel.

Wouldn’t you just fine the OD then find the center??? That looks like the dude to sit there and go thru 20 different time killing steps to do one simple thing… dude must get paid by the hour…. Ridiculous. And everyone here is baffled 😂 crazy

Luckily there is still people who know this and much more and love passing it on as you can tell from this short clip..one love

The rollie, the dirt under the fingernails, the knife-sharpened pencil...

He described the algorithm with confidence without awareness of WHY it works.

Good to know. Lord knows you cant eyeball that sh!t.

Experience is a great thing to have , he’s full of it 👍

Use a compass?

I was too busy learning about what happens when to smash two atoms together, and why X equals 47. Who in their right mind would ever find it useful to know where the centre if a circle is, where you can name who the Chancellor of the Exchecker was in 1769. School taught me many useful things e.g. I know how the Ozone Layer works, but I have no idea how to change the oil in my car.

what a moron , Pivot your ruler until you come up with the largest measurement you can find , Diameter no matter where it is , 1/2 that measurement ,

exactly what I wanted. Hole is now a zillionth fit onto the shaft. Thank you!

Pro Tip: The closer you position two lines to a right angle, the sharper and more defined the resulting cross will appear.

Wait till he finds out you only need one line and a square....not two

I'M EDGING TO THIS

It's actually more impressive to find the center using only a compass, like I believe the ancients did. They did not rely on rulers. A compass could be made with string and chalk. Not only can it make a perfect circle, you can use it to find the center.

I mean if its a proper circle you can just find the to longer points on the measuring tool an and cross them + Can always double check the intersecting with a square.🤷‍♂️

Boss

The two chords don’t need to be the same length, even. Just bisect any two chords and the bisectors will insect at the center of the circle.

They tried to teach me that at school for 10 years with no avail, and this man comes along and teaches me in 30 seconds. 😮

Just wanna say: it's not necessary for the lines to be the same lenght, just draw any two lines inside the circle and the perpendiculars from their middle points will always intersect in the circle's center :)

Such an awful construction. We need to take two perpendiculars and two midpoints? How about one of each… Draw any chord on the circle. Take the perpendicular from where it meets the circle. Connect the subsequent chords to form a right angled triangle and measure the midpoint of the hypotenuse. I’m not even saying this is good construction, but it’s so much better than the video and took me 30 seconds to come up with.

Dirty fingernails, lit cigarette, and a ring with work scars. My kind of guy.

I tried it and it didnt work. Then i popped a roll up on my gob and suddenly it worked 😂😂

Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest.

Draw a square around the circle, connect the corners... center

Draw any two diameters and where they cross is the centre. Weird to see all these comments suggesting the man offers some jobo wisdom here.

Is 60 the centre of 120? 😊

Could also just measure the diameter and find half. To find diameter put starting edge on wherever you like on the edge and pivot to longest measurement and you now have your diameter. Half of that is your radius measurement which should tell you exactly where center is

Or you measure the circle and divide by 2

Doesn’t have to be the same length. Just find the bisector of the two segments and where them lines meet is the centre

I would love to see his lunches.

"mmm"

What does "come off of those (with right angles)" mean? I know what a right angle is... but he kind of glossed over the most important part!!

Ah. Reminds me of my dad. Lol.

If you can't explain something simple enough then you don't understand it well enough...

Go on lad

Leave it to the British to make it more complicated than it needs to be. This is why the US towers in construction.

I still don't get it 😫 sorry to the man explaining it , it's not you it's me 🥴

This country was built by men like this wearing overalls and had been brought to its knees by men wearing suits.

There's a little hole in the middle of the circle. Dead give away 😂

Point in the middle job done

Thank you

I need a Randal Carlson and Wes podcast

bro found g spot when there was any

Or... you could just measure across the circle

I like the arrows he draws to mark the halfway points. Those are the arrows of a master craftsman.

It's negative ground 🤣
