V centre finder for turning blanks

Find the centre of round stock

Press a round turning blank, a dowel or a log end into the 90 degree V and draw along the blade, whose edge lies exactly on the bisector; turn the blank a quarter and draw again. The lines cross at the true centre, ready for the drive spur, a chuck or a drill.
