DIY Center Marking Tool - Make an Easy Center Marking Jig

In this video I will be showing you how to make a DIY Center Marking Tool. This Center Marking Jig is incredibly useful for marking a line down the center of a piece of stock, the marking Jig will work on many different thicknesses of wood, and if you often work with larger pieces, then you can simply make the Jig longer!
This Center Marking Tool may be a one trick pony, but it is a really useful Jig to have around the workshop, and it will enable you to quickly and easily mark the center of a piece of wood without having to go near a tape measure.
The Center Marking Tool can be made in about an hour, and I guarantee it will be an hour well spent.

Materials :
An offcut of wood. You choice entirely on the species
8mm Drill Bit + a drill bit which matches your penciuls diameter
2x Skateboard Bearing
2x M8 Bolts
2x M8 Nyloc nuts

You draw a rough center line along the two axis, mark the center point, Set caliper to 6.00, place caliper at the center point and draw the extreme points both sides. No need to measure extremes and divide by two to draw the center point. Regards.

I don't do any sort of wood working or anything of the sort, but really liked your video and your presentation. Not my cup of tea but great work! Hope it can reach someone who can put the knowledge to use!

Thank you for the feedback, especially considering you are not into woodworking. I am terrified of being on camera ( Even though I appreciate I was not in this video...) and it is a constant battle to try and do the narration / voice overs without sounding too nervous. Its really great to get feedback like this as it shows I am moving in the right direction. Thank you for taking the time to comment :)

I liked it and I shall try to make one like yours.

Wow I haven’t seen one with bearings! I’ll have to try this

[@RCHandmade]

Yeah it just seemed like a good idea. I made a more standard one with dowel pegs, but I found that it kept snagging on rough sawn wood. The bearings to not completely get rid of the problem, but they certainly make it better. And on planed stock it runs along as smooth as butter :)
Have you got a new video coming out soon?

[@HandBuilt]

@@RCHandmade I have some
Small videos in the works. I’m going to convert my garage into a wood shop here soon so I will have some good content coming this year 😀

[@RCHandmade]

@@HandBuilt looking forward to that, I love a good workshop build :)
