Building perfect circles in Minecraft - how?

Trying to make a round tower and mine looks more like an octagon with dents. Do people use a block diagram or some trick for counting blocks per row?

Two tricks. First, use odd diameters, so there's a single centre block and the circle is symmetric. Second, build it as runs: for a 7-wide circle the edge goes 3 straight, then 1, then 1, then 3 straight, and you mirror that round. There are circle generators that give you the runs for any size, search pixel circle generator. In game, mark the centre and count out from it on both axes before placing anything, eyeballing it is how you end up with an egg.
