Hi Dan! A super trivial way of getting exact center is to draw a line from the upper-lefthand corner to the lower right-hand corner, and another line from the upper-righthand corner to the lower-lefthand corner. This creates an “X”, and where the two lines intersect, that’s the center of the wood.
This only works with rectangular-cut wood, though, note that it does not need to be a perfect square. Any rectilinear shape will do.
Sorry if this sounds like a beat up, its not Im concerned when people demonstrate bad powertool habits to others who dont know better
Rip cutting up sheet goods like into your squares without using a rip fence is asking for a kickback… especially on a saw that wobbles/moves like yours. A kickback of this kind has a good chance of being lethal.
Excellent video otherwise, entertaining and for a good cause. Thankyou
Seeming you are “rough” cutting the squares a hand held circular saw with a fence guide will do the trick safely… cutting circles can be done with a router.(using a trammel jig)
why is everyone bashing them on wood cutting techniques and proper tool control….THESE PEOPLE ARE GIVING YOU FREE ENERGY PLANS….omg…you want a tutorial on tools go to home depot and buy a book. The purpose behind the clip is to show you how to tap into a free energy source.
Thank you for the comment:-) We actually do tons of wood work for a living and have routers rotozips etc and nothing cuts a circle like this. I have used other tools in the past and while they do work, you cannot knock out a bunch quickly. Cutting circles is actually a neat way of making money, turns a $15 sheet of plywood into $75 in under 15 minute:-)$
Thought you or your viewers migh enjoy some origami wind art.
I’ve created an wind turbine (of sorts) created from folded paper. It powers an Aeolian Shadow shifter. Follow the link to Firstfold to see this in action.
Very good idea provided you have the wind to turn the vawt. What would you use to generate the electricity? DC generator, geared alternator? Keep the videos coming

Thanks again for the comment.
your wife is awesome. What is your day job dan? You’re an eclectic guy.
Funny “X”
You should have drawn your lines from the corners.
and yes, your circle-cut-on-table-saw is a damn good idea. I can’t wait to win a bet with it sometime!
DAN WIFE”S HOT! someone had to say it.
Most excellent video guys! 5*
agreed!lol

Never learned this trick in wood-shop! COOL STUFF!
