Learn to make an homemade center finder jig / centre marking jig. I often need to find center on boards for all sorts of different reasons like cutting in half with the table saw or mitre saw, and often the quickest and easiest way is to use my center finding jig to mark the lumber at it's center point.

Thanks Colin. I'm making mine this week. You ROCK!

@opasworkshop8373 6 лет назад

Great design Colin. I guess I'm going to have to try one of these for myself.

@johnturner5753 6 лет назад

That is a pretty cool idea. I have also ran into the issues that you stated in your video. I am going to have try and make me one of these..

@barlow2976 4 года назад

I would rather have your original, fixed pin design in two or three different sizes. This adjustable model introduces the possibility of innaccuracies, I feel. There again, anything with a pencil stuck in the centre isn't going to be as accurate as a centreing rule anyhow, but I do love the handiness of these jigs. Thank you.

@markhouge7744 6 лет назад

@Habibulla.M 2 года назад

Nice work. You can add a sclae on both sides so that it is easy to keep the side bolts exactly the same distance from the centre pencil....

@timsack8439 6 лет назад

Great tool. And you can use a sharpened screw as a center point and swing the pencil around to mark an arc.

@markhouge7744 6 лет назад

Can you possibly show us how to make a center finding jig for centering dowels?? This jig your making now to center boards that it adjusts is awesome!!

@DonJohn87_YT 6 лет назад

I have to disagree on this one, having to manually align the jig every time is a hassle and increases the chance of incorrect measurements. It would be better to have multiple fixed positions to put the pins, basically just add more holes to the first jig.

@knecht105 6 лет назад

If modifying the first jig fit you're needs better, by all means do so. Jigs are all about what works best for the user. Thanks for watching.

@DonJohn87_YT 6 лет назад

I didn't mean to sound harsh, there's probably advantages to this new version as well :) Anyways, thanks for the good free content!

@salvationbordercountry3800 3 года назад

Great modification Don. I think I will use your tip.

@assassinlexx1993 Год назад

Great design Before you glue the added wood for the pencil. Put a saw cut to the hole . Glue all but that one side of the cut. Drill side for thumb screw. Clamps pencil without damaging it.

@bobhall2171 6 лет назад

Another idea if you haven’t got brass blocks is do what I do, use drill bits

@josecallard 6 лет назад

I enjoy wood work n u to I learned so much n to us my tools 😲😲

Great vid and jig Colin. You help us beginners So Much! (c=

@cobberpete1 6 лет назад

Too late Colin, I made three of your original design,.. S, M & L, to accommodate my needs, but if and when, I will consider V2 of your Centre finder :)

@knecht105 6 лет назад

The originals work good too! Thanks for watching peter!

@kinkjarfold3816 4 года назад

I'm wondering if a strip of wood with incremental holes you add or remove dowels to would also work. I like this idea, though. then again, I like all your ideas whether I use them or not.

@mjb12141963 6 лет назад

If you needed to tighten the pencil hole you could cut a slot the length of the block and then put bolts on either side of the pencil hole. Also you could put spacers on the bolts so they would roll and not drag down the sides of the piece.

@jaspip1678 6 лет назад

I like the jig regardless

@alext9067 5 лет назад

Colin, I don't know how I missed this but here's something for you. I know this is an old video. I hope you see this. You looked like you were in a big hurry here. Don't wait for that PVA glue to dry. Take my idea. Moisten the hell out of one side of the part you wanna glue and put a spot of CA glue on the other part. Put them together for an almost instant bond. Don't dawdle. You can thank me later. Cheers.

@Volksgemeineschaft 6 лет назад

I watched your video and thought it was great. Are there plans for your center finder? Is it best to use some type of hard wood for this project?

@sathaasivamnandakumar7576 5 лет назад

You probably measure the original instead setting up the nut. Mab be usable for repeat. But you may build a jig with a gear in the middle and teeth on the side trail with a T track base. So when you dial those pin move equal distance. But the chalange is teeth size and play between teeth.

@LarryBinFL 6 лет назад

Am I missing something, or couldn't you simply have taken the original jig and drilled a couple of spots at different widths from the center, and put (removable) dowels in those for more narrow boards? Seems *much* easier...and, frankly, waaaay less likely to screw up due to not setting the two screws properly.

@MarcilioPrado 6 лет назад

Larry B I've done that to the first jig. 3 stops each side covers 100% of my "center-finding" needs.

@knecht105 6 лет назад

This jig is FULLY adjustable, but the first jig can be modified to fit most of your needs with extra dowels as you suggest.

@nikitay4570 6 лет назад

Perhaps there is a way to set a controlled offset from center?

@Bright8888 6 лет назад

Yes Colin, the jig is fully adjustable and it's a good design. The only issue is that the two screws must be exactly the same distance from the center. Like Larry B suggests, if there are 2 or 3 holes drilled on either side at the precise spots, the jig will serve the same purpose without the need to position the two screws at the right spots.

@rogerthat24 6 лет назад

That's exactly what I was thinking just a minute into the video.

@josecallard 6 лет назад

Amazing ... I made one but is not better then you u is great 👍

@knecht105 6 лет назад

Thank you for watching Jose

@johnmcdougald1238 6 лет назад

How about adding multiple marks on either side of the gauge to line up the bolts for different widths of boards. Maybe measure out very 2 inches and mark it with a Sharpie to line up the bolts. Great idea for a 1 size fits all center finder.

@dwightl5863 6 лет назад

Ok for close enough. Colin measuring the bolts from the center to the bolt with the same "gauge" will yield much better accuracy.

@jaspip1678 6 лет назад

Maybe a good idea to laminate a seamstress tape measure into the side. That would fix the prob with having to have the bolts exactly right. Guess they don't have a tape to use.

@knecht105 6 лет назад

That would be a great addition! Thanks for watching!

@jjbailey01 6 лет назад

How do you quickly, accurately and repeatedly adjust this? Or do you just get it close, then run it once, flip it, and run it again to get an average center?

@turnerc23 4 года назад

I think the video explains the method of adjustment, but I'm grateful for your idea of flipping it to verify accuracy.

@jjbailey01 4 года назад

@@turnerc23 I have yet to find a pencil sharpener that gets the point exactly concentric to the outside of the pencil. So the method of adjustment shown in the video is only "close enough" at best. It doesn't take much to put the center point of a center finder annoyingly off center.

@tkarlmann 6 лет назад

By the time you carefully set the two bolts equally spaced from the center, you could have laid out the center of the board you are trying measure!! AND that pencil is not round, so measuring to it is inaccurate.

@FOMI1970 6 лет назад

that's what I was thinking of watching the video , but then I thought this jig is good for repetitive measurements though it not dead precise .

@bongobill2000 6 лет назад

Where’s the link for the measuring blocks

@cobberpete1 6 лет назад

Just use Drill bits, as Colin did for one of his measurements. A lot cheaper than having fancy blokes.

@ianmathieson65 6 лет назад

Peter Compton But sometimes more awkward to handle depending on what you’re doing. The link would be of interest just to see the range on offer.

Does anyone know who is the original center finder inventor? Unable to find the info. I know that this was invented by someone long ago

@FritsvanDoorn 6 лет назад

marvelous (don't know the right spelling)

@chimp_that_thinks2294 6 лет назад

Could you mount bearings on the bolts somehow or will it cause problems?

@mjb12141963 6 лет назад

try spacers for rollers.

@knecht105 6 лет назад

I don't see how bearing could hurt, but spacers like suggested already would probably be easier.

@mjb12141963 6 лет назад

I honestly couldn't think of any bearings you could use on a bolt but having worked with spacers recently they came to mind. You would need to have a bolt with more threads and maybe washers and jam nuts to keep the spacers in place.

@bobhall2171 6 лет назад

Rather than have “another” jig get a piece of string measure it across the wood and fold in half and you’ll have dead centre
