Cool

Easy.
Drill a small hole in a yardstick, and tack it in place.
Go to the measurement that you want for the arc, and scribe or pencil it on.
Good Luck!

Wink

Put a nail at the center point in the plywood. Tie a loose not in string and attach to nail at center point.
Make sure this string does not wrap on nail, but just revolves. on the other end of the string at the desired distance tie another nail, this is your scribe. keep the string near the bottom of the travel scribe when scribeing your circle so as not to distort your circle.
