The Pencil and the Square

The world of DIY brims with projects that require precise circles. But reaching for a compass or struggling with a shaky hand can be time-consuming and frustrating. A speed square, often associated with straight lines, can be your secret weapon for drawing perfect circles.

This transformation into a circle-drawing compass hinges on the corner notch and a pencil. The notch acts as a fixed pivot point, while the pencil, positioned along the square’s edge, becomes the drawing arm. Simply rotate the square around a central point (like a nail!) to create a perfect circle.
