Hi Gail, In reply to Mac, about finding the centre of a circle. This is how it’s done, measure 2″ down from the top of the circle, and draw a horizontal line across, do the same from the bottom, draw a line from the left end to the right [bottom] end and again from right to left, where they cross is the centre. Hope this helps. regards Allisan [Wales UK]

Your pedestal bowl is so pretty, Gail… and seeing the added round wood piece at the bottom is very helpful! We would be blessed to have your at Tuesday Turn About, if you have a few minutes to link up! We always love seeing you there!

I’m very math challenged….

I believe the bowl, was easy because of the way it was made. When I have a smaller piece like the pedestal, I generally place a washer on it. It’s easier to find the even distance that way. Then, I draw a circle in the middle of the washer, then just eyeball it!

There are precise ways to find the center of a circle, but they’ve never worked for me! (math challenged)

I like that analogy Lois! Many furniture workers have plans, drawn out and everything. I just like to jump in! LOL

I love your website. I just wish, in my younger days, that I had invested in a miter saw. It would make my projects much easier. Too old to do anything like that now but I can use glue and do. I just love your wooden projects with the trays and the candlesticks. I thought it was cute when you said you “fly by the seat of your paints”. That’s because you are an artist at crafting and won’t finish a project until you are perfectly satisfied with it. It is the same with me when I am drawing a picture. Sometimes I have to walk away from it for a couple of days and then go back to it later on. All artists feel that way because when it comes to something you are creating, it has to be perfect, even if it is for yourself or not.

In reply to Mary-the boondocks blog.

Gorilla wood glue woould definitely hold it. Sometimes I do both, but when I get lazy or in a hurry I take the easy road. 🙂
