Circle Scribe

[Greatdaytobeawildcat]

Built this 1-person pitchers circle scribe. Less than 7 bucks in materials (10 foot 3/4 in pvc pipe, elbow joint, t-joint, 2 deck screws).

Draws a perfect 8 foot circle in less than 20 seconds.

Just making the most of a week off from work...

I have a bad back, so i would make handles longer, might increase cost a bit for say another 10 foot length of PD (2 handles, 4 foot each), but like the idea. our local rec has something similar, but wihtout handles, so it is generally a two person job, one holds center point in place, the other moves end around in circle with their foot.

Well done. I hope you don't have to put it in your car often.

Thanks. It’ll live at the shed now, we have three fields all next to each other that can share it, so no need for transport.

I agree, longer handles might be nice for not having to bend down, but correct, would have had to splurge another $3.99 for more pipe...this is a zero waste production you see.

Well done. I hope you don't have to put it in your car often.

certain you could put one or two hinges in there to make it portable, just "A Few Dollars More"
