Thank you so much for t his video !! I used it and it worked perfectly for me, my span was over 75 inches and using the method with the two pieces of straight wood or wooden yard sticks, I got the arch I wanted and it fit perfectly in the window wooden frame. Thanks again.
@taradaves3096 - wow, I've just gotten smarter after looking up what you are talking about. I am a vocabulary buff, and having precise terms to describe something is a great skill. l'll see how that term goes over at the next social gathering I'm at when I inquire about the wellbeing of my friend's catenary. Priceless! Best, DFJ
Very informative video. I am building a new house, that has 3 interior 14 foot openings that go into the living room. I wanted a very subtle arch. I used the second method in his video. Works awesome. Thank you for posting this video.
Perfect, Jay! Beating my head against the wall trying to get just the right arc for the deck of my sailboat. I know the width of the deck and the height of the camber. Either of these two methods will work very well in this situation. Many thanks!
Wow. I'm an artist not a woodworker and very terrible at math. I'm trying to make a rainbow with evenly spaced arcs and have been very creative trying to solve my problem, but have failed. Your first example, cantenary?, is perfect for me. Thank you so much.
Jay, you are the bomb! But in a good way…lol! I was trying to do a gradual arc cut on the top of an ornamental pallet wood Christmas sleigh. I finally got it but just eye balled it then sanded it down. Your first method would have fixed my issue in a minute. Merry Christmas Jay!
This video was perfect. To the point, dummy proof, great explanation. Awesome job! You definitely got my vote and a new subscriber here! Keep up the good work! God Bless and Stay Safe!
gloubiboulga, thanks for watching and writing! You are correct. It's not a true segment of a circle because of the slight flattening at the ends, but it's pretty darn close and works for many applications. The best to you and yours - DFJ
Rickey Denler, thanks for watching our video and writing for more information. I need a bit more info to answer your question well. I assume you are asking how do your create a portion of an 80' circle (2x the 40' radius you mention) that will fit into a specific width or height? If so, let me know what those dimensions are and I'll see if I can help you! Best, DFJ

Excellent! I'm glad to hear this approach worked so well for you!
I believe the first example is a catenary, the type made by hanging chain or cable, your pushing force replacing gravity

Been in window fitting for some time.and always struggle getting perfect arch they are always very close but this is perfection
Glad to be of help.
jay i need to draw a 43 degree arch,,,can you shouw how you measure the arc for degrees
How do we do an arc but like a straw shape? I want to make a car wheel for an entrance to a birthday boy party with monster truck thematic ❤?
I'm not sure what you mean. What is a straw shape? Do you mean an oval or ellipse? Give me a bit more. This sounds like a cool decoration. Best, DFJ
Nice and thanks for sharing, but for the first method, though it's a nice curve, I'm not really sure it is an accurate arc of a circle...
gloubiboulga, thanks for watching and writing! You are correct. It's not a true segment of a circle because of the slight flattening at the ends, but it's pretty darn close and works for many applications. The best to you and yours - DFJ
method 1 is a parabole, not an arc. method 2 ... not so sure yet :)
I believe the 1st is a catenary
Nice one
How would i make exactly a 40 ft radius useing that second method without stretching out a 40 ft string

Ok talk I like math 🤣👽
Great. Another supposed instructional video that doesn't know the difference between arc and arch. These tips are next to useless.
