Amazing video! Yes, please create more videos like this! I was especially fascinated with the use of the compass and spheres in creative design. I would love to see more videos along the lines of the customizable s-curves for design. Subscribed!
@@ChadStanton Thank you so much for sharing your expertise through these videos! Channels like yours (and individuals like YOU) are what keep me coming back to TH-cam again and again. Wishing you all the best personally and professionally!
Excellent stuff, Chad. If you have any more Geometry to help us getting better in wood crafting, please do make others like these... and thank you for taking the time!
I am a retired carpenter. I have made many polygons of varies sizes. But I have never thought of your way of doing it. Much simpler and super quick. Keep it up Chad, Keep teaching. A lot of people can use your Ideas
I have Woodworkers burnout and have had for several months now, almost to the point of selling off my garage full of woodworking hand and power tools. Your well wrought geometry video while very informative has reawakened the curiosity that go me started in woodworking to begin with. Thanks Stan...I guess!
I'm so happy you are interested again. I started a series on Monday to help motivate people such as yourself. Check this out and see if you want to join us. th-cam.com/video/dWQh5pVsFpU/w-d-xo.html
Great video Chad, thanks. I've been watching some videos from woodworkers in Korea who are doing some crazy inlay designs for tabletops, cutting boards, you name it. Beautiful symmetry that imparts 3-D illusions. But theres no talking or any kind of explanations of how thoze designs are developed. And make no mistake, those designs are geometry on stearoids. I would like to see more videos like this one on geometry. We don't need to master orbital navigation; but I'd sure like to get on top of those intricate inlay designs. Thanks again, Chad.
I just wanted to say how nice you video is. It made me think of when I first was learning about geometry in carpentry and how sometimes we can forget the rock solid old principles
Happy to do it. I try to show practical applications so it shows a clear use for it in our craft. Did you have chance to see our second one? th-cam.com/video/YLSpZMhlL3s/w-d-xo.html
This is great, and no one else seems to be covering geometry for carpentry on TH-cam. I'd like to see how to use geometry to cut and build a project from start to finish. Thank you!
I'm a woodworking teacher and I've seen that, many times, students will avoid more interesting projects because the setting up the lines for cutting seems overwhelming to them. The practice of using geometry to make that set up easier would be so beneficial to these students. I would love to see some more videos like this so that I can show them (and learn myself!). Especially some videos showing common shapes in wood projects. Great job guys!
Thank you. Yes, we will be doing more of this and will have it's one playlist soon for people to easily refer back to it. Did you see our second video? th-cam.com/video/YLSpZMhlL3s/w-d-xo.html
Aloha Chad , great 'refresher' course on 'Geo' [ its been a few years since high school] . Aced my geo class , and these 'tricks' as you call them , made me valued as shop man . Now just happy to be on this side of the turf and not playing cards with Elvis .
Plus it looks impressive if the customer sees you using the compass verses a can. :-) Check out our weekly update videos on Monday. We will mention what the video on Friday's will be. Thanks for watching.
Excellent! I've never had a mind for numbers, Deviders, story sticks, those accordion expanding things that show you points at equal distance on any length of stock... Anything that gets away from numbers and let's you figure without copying someone elses plans! Bring it! Where have you gone Joe Pythagoras?
I made a stand/leaf for my table saw that swung up from the side of my bench when extended and hid completely under the ledge of the bench when stowed. So there was no way to simply hinge it right at the top corner. It actually had to come out more than up. So i used a scale drawing of the stowed and extended positions. Drew the 90deg arc paths of each corner from stowed to extended. Then used that method of finding the perpendiculars to connect those centers and found where they crossed - ie the only common point where all arcs could hinge and hit the right points. It came out perfect first shot. Yay math! :D
Man this is such an awesome trick with so many uses! I don’t get to use it a whole lot so I have watched this video probably 20 times now to get a refresher!! The other video he did is handy as well! Probably the most useful woodworking video I’ve seen! 100 👍 if I could
Definitely more! I watched this with an eye toward sending the link to some of my less geometry minded coworkers, but even I didn't know about the circle into thirds trick!
This "angle" on woodworking (pardon the pun) is, as far as I know, totally unique & sorely needed. This episode just got me to subscribe to your channel. Please keep them coming. Thank you, Mario Salinas
I love it!!! One thing that I'd love to see more of is design concepts that are tried and true. For example... the Fibonacci or Golden Ratio of 1:1.618... and how you can use this ratio to determine all kinds of things. For example... if I am going to make a dining room table, I always have to look on the internet for, "Typical dimensions of dining room tables." and the results can be all over the place, or whatever. But I am sure that there are some "rules" or guidelines like, "The length is the width * N..." or whatever. Any tips, tricks, or guidelines on making design decisions would be AMAZING!!! I think that most woodworkers want to build their own designs. Even if they are totally patterned after a famous design... the exact dimensions are their own. I'd love to know more about why Mid Century Modern stuff looks... the way it does... vs. Shaker... vs... whatever.
I love the geometry videos, sure could have used this a month back building my daughter a bed frame, I free handed the "s" curve, turned out good but took me half a life time to get it correct.
I'm glad i was able to share that with you. It's amazing how simple this can be. The key, or course, is using it so we don't forget. Mmmmm... maybe i'll make PDF's so people can download it and save them in the shop for suture reference. Thanks for watching.
Thanks Chad. Yesterday I attempted to cut an equilateral triangle out of a small piece of offcut... imagine a square cut diagonally and you get the picture. I measured to the middle of the cut edge, opposite the 45 corner, then measured the other two edges (both were the same), marked out that length from my middle measurement and voila! A completely wonky equilateral triangle. I think I prefer your method lol. I'll get a compass.
Awesome video. Please, more geometry! Not enough of this type of material on TH-cam or the internet for that matter. Really... You would think there would be more geometry instructionals geared towards woodworking... Anyway, Thanks a million for taking the time and making the effort! Great Videos!
Yeah i know! Seems like they always push algebra, which is WAY too much to remember. But Geometry is easy! Oh, check out our weekly update videos on Monday. We will mention what the video on Friday's will be. Thanks for watching.
Great stuff. Love to see more. I teach a course that is a combination of high school geometry and woodshop. It's great to hear of more ideas for projects and uses of geometry in woodworking.
I am a math teacher that is putting together an integrated geometry class next year. I am co-teaching with the wood shop teacher. I am looking for ways to cover all of our content through projects. Thank you for this video it provided some great ideas. If you have any project ideas, or education resources that could help me, that would be greatly appreciated.
It is going to be fun to help the students see why your tricks work. The three equally spaced spots around the circle caught me off guard a little bit, but what you were really doing was creating 6 equilateral triangles and using only 3 of the points.
Hello Kevin. I am always eager to help kids. I have a playlist that is just about geometry. If I can help in any way, feel free to email me at woodchoppintime@gmail.com. th-cam.com/play/PLHtAqxc1SsGhFA18GPlmB5nuSX8GipvPB.html
I bought a book at my local super store 20 years ago called trigonometry for dummys. I learned a lot about making poly-grams. It is useful for finding the length of sides for making wagon wheels of a known diameter.
These are things that I've forgotten over the years. Dividers are great layout tools. One thing that I have trouble with is laying out holes in a nice even pattern length wise.
Nice tips. I would like to see more. Sadly I failed geometry in high school. The odd thing is in college I took trig, physics and calculus but never did take geometry again.
Calling me "really smart" is a little bit generous. I took the classes, struggled and passed, but I don't remember any of the math now. I didn't understand what I was doing or why in the majority of cases, just followed the rules. I still don't think I would pass a geometry class. These tips are helpful for me since they show me the practical, not theoretical, applications for why it is done a certain way.
Sure thing. I've got some great tips to share. Check out our weekly update videos on Monday. We will mention what the video on Friday's will be. Thanks for watching.
Well this video has just made you one more subscriber. Extremely helpful as it’s been 30 some odd years since I was in high school and I’m pretty sure I missed the day they were teaching us this. So ty I appreciate any tricks of this type anytime. Please know you taught a complete stranger a trick or two that has truly made my hobby that much more enjoyable
This is very good yes I would like to see more I've been a part of your community for a while and I'm a woodworker I just created a couple Forks my first two you might want to check out that video for what it's worth thank you looking forward to hearing from you God bless thanks for sharing Ken

@@ChadStanton Thank you so much for sharing your expertise through these videos! Channels like yours (and individuals like YOU) are what keep me coming back to TH-cam again and again. Wishing you all the best personally and professionally!
Excellent video. If my maths classes at school were this interesting and relevant, I would have payed a lot more attention. Keep up the great work.
@@puddinggeek4623 thank you so much. Please check out my geometry playlist
I never thought I would say this but yes I would like to see more geometry.
ken1Lane me too...
Bruh same now I figure out what the vertex means now lol....
Excellent stuff, Chad. If you have any more Geometry to help us getting better in wood crafting, please do make others like these... and thank you for taking the time!

That is to me, not just one of your best videos, but one of the best most useful videos I’ve seen on TH-cam.
I know. My better videos are with my dancing. Hahahaha just kidding. Thanks for watching and supporting us.
Thank you so very much!!! You have the amazing ability to present the information clearly with over complicating anything. I love it
The energy in this one is much better. You have matured into a confident presentor
Me mature?!?! Are you sure about that? Hahahaha thanks for watching
Great video Chad, thanks.

Thank you for your comment. I actually have a playlist on my channel of just geometry. Thanks for watching
Very informative. I would definitely like to see more of this type geometry tips. Thanks!
I just wanted to say how nice you video is. It made me think of when I first was learning about geometry in carpentry and how sometimes we can forget the rock solid old principles
Thank you. I have another one coming out this Friday 4-20-18. Hope you come back again.
Never thought geometry would be so necessary for woodwork! Thanks
Happy to do it. I try to show practical applications so it shows a clear use for it in our craft. Did you have chance to see our second one? th-cam.com/video/YLSpZMhlL3s/w-d-xo.html
I don't do woodworking, but these types of tips will surely help me with the new craft I am learning.
This is very helpful, I think I will really need your help with my diy projects
Absolutely more. I just wish I could remember most of your steps without needing to view your video each time ! Excellent work and Thanks!
Thank you. Did you see our second one? th-cam.com/video/YLSpZMhlL3s/w-d-xo.html
I just watched the second presentation and it was just as good and just as useful. Thanks again!
More, yes please! I’m intrigued by your layout tips for drawers technique.
This is great, and no one else seems to be covering geometry for carpentry on TH-cam. I'd like to see how to use geometry to cut and build a project from start to finish. Thank you!

Thank you for your great demonstration!
Aloha Chad ,
great 'refresher' course on 'Geo' [ its been a few years since high school] . Aced my geo class , and these 'tricks' as you call them , made me valued as shop man . Now just happy to be on this side of the turf and not playing cards with Elvis .
Thanks Mark. Oh, by the way, Elvis cheats at cards. :-)
Yes, keep those geometry-tipps coming, please!
I have been using cans way to long! This is so much better and easier. Thanks!
Plus it looks impressive if the customer sees you using the compass verses a can. :-) Check out our weekly update videos on Monday. We will mention what the video on Friday's will be. Thanks for watching.
Excellent!
I've never had a mind for numbers,
Deviders, story sticks, those accordion expanding things that show you points at equal distance on any length of stock...
Anything that gets away from numbers and let's you figure without copying someone elses plans!
Bring it!
Where have you gone Joe Pythagoras?
I enjoyed your presentation a lot!! Now I need a better compass! Thank you!
Definitely more geometry Chad and Safety. I feel that it is a valued skill to have.
Yes,, i would like more,,,, and your demos,,, were the best,,,,, becus you showed True Application,,,,,,,, Very good man....

Well thank you for watching Chris. We just might have a new one this Friday.
Thank you
I knew it would be useful
Don’t tell anyone I use some of it more than most
Thank you so so much. Brilliant ideas and so simple.
Thank you! That is a wonderful video. Geometry was my favorite subject in high school many, many years ago. Now I see how to use it in woodworking.
Thanks for watching Carl. Did you see our second one? th-cam.com/video/YLSpZMhlL3s/w-d-xo.html

Thanks for the tip, please expand on the subject for woodworking
Yes we will do more, George. Did you see our other video on geometry? th-cam.com/video/YLSpZMhlL3s/w-d-xo.html
Awesome practical application! Thank you!
Great way of doing this type of drawing. Geo shover vermont
Thank you. I need to draw the triangle in the circle
Awesome video! Would like to see more like this. Thanks.
Thanks, Chad. Great tips! Please do produce more videos like this.

There is always more than one way to do something. That is just the way i do it. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
Yes brilliant! I'd forgotten all this stuff - so good be reminded!
Yes I would like to see more geometry, as its applied to wood working...thanks
Awesome video. Please, more geometry! Not enough of this type of material on TH-cam or the internet for that matter. Really... You would think there would be more geometry instructionals geared towards woodworking... Anyway, Thanks a million for taking the time and making the effort! Great Videos!
Brilliant video and perfectly explained
This video was so good. I want to learn more of this.
Great tips. Wish we would've had Geometry and Woodshop at the same time, to see how they go hand in hand. Thanks.
Yeah i know! Seems like they always push algebra, which is WAY too much to remember. But Geometry is easy! Oh, check out our weekly update videos on Monday. We will mention what the video on Friday's will be. Thanks for watching.
Great tips and defo more geometry with added pencil tricks. Thanks.
Loved your show and look forward to more.
Oh thank you so much. I truly appreciate that. I hope you subscribe it really does help me.
Great stuff. Love to see more. I teach a course that is a combination of high school geometry and woodshop. It's great to hear of more ideas for projects and uses of geometry in woodworking.
Geometry eliminates measuring mistakes, so yes, more geometry!!!

I will look for it. It definitely sounds like the book was written with me in mind. Hahahaha thank you
One of the best woodworking videos I have seen in a long time. Thanks Chad!
Thank you Andrew for watching. Here's our second one. th-cam.com/video/YLSpZMhlL3s/w-d-xo.html
Hi Chad, I really enjoy your tips, thanks a lot.
Would be great for me to make a compass like yours.
These are things that I've forgotten over the years. Dividers are great layout tools. One thing that I have trouble with is laying out holes in a nice even pattern length wise.
Being a JOURNEYMAN PATTERNMAKER you nailed it
Yes! I would like to see more about applying geometry.
I would like to see more geometry.
Thank you Chad 🇺🇸
Nice tips. I would like to see more.
Sadly I failed geometry in high school. The odd thing is in college I took trig, physics and calculus but never did take geometry again.
WOW you are really smart! I think we can over look the little geometry issue you had back in high school :-)
Calling me "really smart" is a little bit generous. I took the classes, struggled and passed, but I don't remember any of the math now. I didn't understand what I was doing or why in the majority of cases, just followed the rules. I still don't think I would pass a geometry class.
These tips are helpful for me since they show me the practical, not theoretical, applications for why it is done a certain way.
Good video and ideas - definitely gained something from this that can be used. Would be interested in more like it.
Thank you Anthony. We will be doing more in the near future
Thank you! Please, give us more geometry tips!
Looks like a geometric flippin' good time to us!
Tolpin/Walker method.....I love it!!!
Excellent reminder for what we mostly forgot.
I enjoyed this clip. Very helpful! I'd love to see more. Thanks!
Good video. ( I did a presentation like this at the woodworking club recently)
Thanks, Keith!
Another great tip. More geometry.
Actually one of the few classes I enjoyed in high school over 50 years ago
Very educative tips and please i wanna watch more geometry
Did you have a chance to see our second video on geometry? th-cam.com/video/YLSpZMhlL3s/w-d-xo.html
I'd love to see more tips, something for making bucket or lighthouse staves??
Ah yes. Good one. I'll add that to the list. Thank you for the suggestion and for watching
Definitely loved the geometry lesson! Now I'll be thinking of all the ways my life is incomplete without a compass
Awesome bro, I want more of your teaching .
MOARRRR GEOMETRY!!!! Give us lots of it!!!
Really useful info. Many thanks. Would definitely like to see some more geometry tips.
Sure thing. I've got some great tips to share. Check out our weekly update videos on Monday. We will mention what the video on Friday's will be. Thanks for watching.
This was awesome. Please show more triggernomitery.
It's amazing what geometry can do! Thank God that was my favorite subject in school! Many blessings to you and your Channel! I'll be watching.
Thank you so much Tracy. I appreciate you taking the time to comment. But don't watch too closely, you'll see all my mistakes. :-)
More Geometry, Please and Thank You!
Will do. Thanks for watching
Really useful and interesting...thank you.
Any help from you is always good to learn, so keep them coming. thanks for sharing.
I like the coolness with which you deploy your lessons. Good video!
Thank you. No one ever has called me "cool" before. You're my new best friend! Hahahaha thank you so much for watching
Definitely want to see more!
Thank you VERY MUCH. No kidding, I almost didn't watch this and boy am I glad I did! cheers...rr Normandy

Yes i have already been wathed that video thank you my friend good job ;)
Thank you so much for giving us the compliment. It really encourages us.
This was sick! Thanks for posting it!!!!
Wow that was very well done. You took something that can seem very intimidating and made it simple. Thanks for de Knowledge
Great video. I'd like more geometry videos too, those were great pointers.
Thank you we'll do more soon
Great job, very good example!!!
Nice. You studied geometry well in the school.👌
this was sick thanks chad. id love to see more on this as theres not realy much ou there i can find that i can apply to common tasks. cheers
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thaks for watching
Good job
