Tracing Shapes, transfer the shape of anything to any surface.

This video shows how to get an accurate trace of any shape and transfer that to cardboard, wood, metal or any project your working on. You can easily get the shape of your horses back or anything else you may need, possibilities are endless.

Thank you! I've been puzzling for over a week on how to take the curve off of an object and transfer it to something I need to cut and you solved it in 10 seconds for me.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! 😀
You just gave me the missing part of a puzzle that's been driving me crazy forever!
Our crappy fridge froze lettuce no matter what we did until I stumbled onto a post where someone solved the problem by lining drawers with pink insulation board. That works perfectly, but our drawers have weird curves so we built a foam board box after failing SO many times to cut the right shapes to fully line the drawers. Now I know how to copy the shape & we'll reclaim the shelf space currently occupied by our pink lettuce box.

Spot on Mr.... great tip. Take care... BB

Cover the bowl in cling wrap, sit on a flat surface, put the carboard directly behind it at 90 segrees and spray some cheap £1 spraypaint to cast a perfect shape of the object to the cardboard? Just a thought....

Excellent! This will help making the outline for my boats casting deck way easier than just winging it

This was an excellent video showing exactly the process I was hoping for. Not to tedious but offers a much better end result than what I had come up with. Great work!

Excellent video, I’m cutting 3/8 plywood for the bed of my truck and need to cut out for wheel wells. Your video gave me the idea to use #12 copper conductor wire to get the shape very close. Thank you friend.

Great informative video. Thanks

[@nickhouck4309]

I do a similar thing with aluminum and copper wire depending on what I'm tracing. Good idea I'm going to try this when i get something with alot of details.

[@tinlieu4696]

FYI: most solder has lead in it.

[@joeyanglada1275]

Also can use bare copper wire 😉

[@catfish24]

I wonder if a piece of copper wire would work?

[@ollywilliams3698]

hi, what's the name of the piece of equipment at 0:12?
