To mark a perfect circle on a piece of wood, firstly decide what size you want the circle to be. Then measure that size on a piece of masonite and mark it at each end. Drill a hole at the other end of the masonite, big enough for your pencil to fit through. Then lightly nail the marked end to the piece of wood you want your circle on. With your pencil sitting in the hole you drilled in the masonite, you should be able to swivel it around, marking a perfect circle as you go.
The first step is to cut all the timber. Here’s our cut list for this project:
30mm plywood • 300mm diameter circle (seat)
35mm F17 Tasmanian oak dowel • 700mm x 4 (legs)
25mm F17 Tasmanian oak dowel • 230mm x 2 (supports) • 240mm x 2 (supports)
