If you have a nice geometry set with the compasses with spare points
simply replace the lead one side with a pointy bit. I think the
investment in the geometry set is worthwhile to get accurate partioning.
On a side note, Greg, you forgot to tell him that if the surface of
the disk looked rusty, that he should remove the rust with fine glass
paper, or perhaps some wet&dry in a pinch.
