Help finding vertical center line on large dowel

[doris]

hehe, yes that is a neat little solution, like particularly the part with sliding the pencil along the frame, to draw the line... neat and accurate. pure math at work :-) very effective too

Yeah, simple.. even simpler is to measure 2 1/2 inches from the edge, that's your center, then just use a straight edge to draw a line through it. Done.

Just like carving,,why make it difficult. Too much for me to think about,,I like to keep it simple.
