I'm laying out the circles in Adobe Illustrator which is accurate for measurements, checking the printer that it's printing at 100% and the circles are never even. I expect a slight difference where you can futz the start or end, but there shouldn't be a 1/4 +" overlap unless every ruler I own - including carpenter's retractable measures are off.
As to not liking videos, I can't print a page I can use for reference and add my own observations and notes.
