Thanks, easy to understand and follow. You made it seem very simple..used it on small projects with fittings that are ellipse molded, min room for error...perfect all the time
The reason to use this method over nails and string is to make it easier to produce/reproduce with standard tooling and radius jigs. When using the string method, you get a true ellipse, which cannot be easily scaled or cut without using pattern bits or hoping you can perfectly follow a line. Using this, you create a false ellipse, which means that you can cut individual segments to build tall laminated ovals, such as the aprons on an elliptical coffee table. This is a great period technique, and a fantastic alternative to steam bending or bend lamination for tall oval projects. Thank you for making this so simple!
Very good demonstration! Although I know about drawing an ellipse, especially within visual art, this explanation, and practical demonstration is indeed valuable, and useful.
it sounds like an approximation method - at the moment i can only guess how good the intersection points are matching with the true curve. doing the math for it will unveil if two different circle diameters will solve the subject.
This is great for drawing, especially when you're drawing in the middle of a page, or woodwork when you have excess material. However, if you're tight and have only the ellipse length and width to play with then take a look at the Stumpy Nubs way to draw an ellipse that follows the Trammel of Archimedes movement - it will fit EXACTLY and you won't need a bigger size sheet of wood!
This is not an ellipse. Its a shape constructed of four circle segments. An ellipse has continuously changing "rate of curve". It's still useful though.
Actually I just tried it and then took a few measurements of random positions on the drawn path and this method holds perfectly to all the defining equations of an ellipse at any point along the path.
i gotta have my comment, i seeing alots of people talking and saying that string methods would be easier i can tell you guys are very unfamiliar with ellipse , when you have to create an ellipse lets say 20' by 16' width, string method does not work because it creates too much tension on the string this method it takes 2 more seconds in doing it but its more accurate and easy to create an ellipse, thanks and respect all opinions ""
@@alexanderstohr4198 Talk to anyone who's tried to measure things with a string? Colonial era surveyors actually used chains instead of rope, for that very reason.
I would never use this method, it's not a perfect ellipse, it looks like an egg...............I use two nails on a stick ( major and minor axis ) with pencil on the end and run those along a 90 degree piece of ply
About 10 years ago a builder in Arkansas explained the same method you just described... But I just couldn't understand it since he didn't actually illustrate it to me. He explained that with that method he would draw the two quadrants of a semi-ellipse separately. Only the string method has ever made sense to me. Would you please explain where the pencil goes on the stick; and how to position the plywood?
Professor, Next time you come up with these inventions, make sure it is simple and easily applicable to the task. Try string method and it takes less than 10 seconds!
My left ear enjoyed the video, thanks!
Thank you for explaining this so clearly - easily got a false elipse with very basic tools. Made my day !
The lecture was in indeed so interesting. everything about ellipse is important for basics
Brilliant. Thank you. My sons textbook is so complicated. Seeing how its done is a million times easier.

Thank you for making this so simple!
I've been looking for a video that explains just that. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!this video was really helpfull
Superb Excellent Instructions. Thank you. All the best. Mitch
I gotta get this guy a coffee, thank you sir
Thank you, I love ellipses
Very good demonstration! Although I know about drawing an ellipse, especially within visual art, this explanation, and practical demonstration is indeed valuable, and useful.
George Anastasopoulos Its not an ellipse, its 4 arcs using 4 different. centers and 2 different radies
Thank you for this

Thats amazing....
Simple and well explained
Thanks Steve! I had to go another route but this was helpful anyhow, I video replied in case any falls into the same area.

damn, all you need is 3 nails, a length of string and a pencil...
I wonder if I can adapt this method to create a series of nested egg shapes.
This is wonderful. Thank you! :)
thank you very much!!!
very useful
my left ear enjoyed the video.
Nobody noticed that this guy looks like Harrison Ford? Haha :D
actually, a lot of people did.

Ok...
That was easy!
u Right kubaz!...how kan we use a string in a small projects!
Thank you
thank you sir
cam on nhe thank nhiu
thank you so mutsh

Where can i find that compass..most are low quality
EXCELENTTT
Couldn't hear the audio properly.
He is not drawing an ellipse, but and oval - they are two entirely different shapes - as are a square and a rectangle!
Actually I just tried it and then took a few measurements of random positions on the drawn path and this method holds perfectly to all the defining equations of an ellipse at any point along the path.
Are you kidding? Three nails a string and a pencil, and you don't have to be a math teacher.
I was about to say that too...
Türkiye'de böyle video çeken yok
Too bad it's not an ellipse.
is there an easier method?
This called a false ellipse
I have Autocad, I just draw what I need and print it out. That's the lazy way of doing it.
THATS WITCHCRAFT!
Yeah well,
as long as it is drawn by hand, of course it is not accurate.
I purchased some excellent plans from the Woodprix website.

any proof for the claim of accuracy?

just too much markings. whats the most simple version?

All this talk of inches got me trippin
would like to know how to draw an ellipse, not an amalgamation of circular arcs.
I did it with the Woodglut plans.
Why complicate things ??? You can draw an ellipse with a string with a pencil and two nails....

Rapidooo. Hablas mucho
Not a very geometrically accurate ellipse.

Incredible PW will ad their name to such a misleading explaining.
Yeah. That looks okay, but it’s really just four intersecting circle segments, with two different radii; not an ellipse.
Thank you sir
thank you
