You're welcome, glad it helped.

Hello @bobpalmer5923. So you don't nessaserly need to give it one inch more. It can be the exact length of that line number so in this case line#1 which looked like about 2 inches. The one inch i added was just to give room to expose the silhouette outline of the pattern itself. So in this case if line #1 was about 2 inches, I figured in my head that it would give about a half inch exposed on either side of line #1 when giving it one inch. Hope that explains it somehow lol. But no, you can make a random box at almost any size you want as long as it fits the longest line length #. Have an awsome day.

That's cool @motorpapa3446 It's interesting how people back then went about laying these out by hand assuming there wasn't Autocad back then that would cut any shape from plasma table out of a software in minutes. Were you making ss kitchen sinks or oven range tops that would probably be a square tonsquare transition? I'm usually just fabricating the vents that are required of me from blue prints and that's it. But I do find it fascinating what a compass can do with all that triangulation to come up with shapes. That great that you have time now to revisit the steps and making these shapes out of card stock. Thx for watching my videos and I'll have more to come. Have a great day.

@@compasslayouts we made commercial kitchens for all the big casinos in Las Vegas. We did the queen mary in Long Beach, spruce goose when it was in Long Beach. Also did the mgm grand twice because it burned down once. We had Disneyland, magic mountain, knots berry farm, Howard Johnson hotels & countless others. We used parallel line development most of the time. I was a apprentice and did a lot of dish tables, rolling carts, sinks, hoods, waitress stations, bakers tables you name it. I finally graduated to some of the big cooking counters however they were difficult. I also worked commercial refrigeration where we built nothing but refrigerators for years. We had Denny’s restaurants, Bobs, Carl’s junior & to many to mention. Good times with great guys teaching me how. Also I was a shear man, notcher, brake operator, fabricator, tig welder, shop foreman, head layout man & superintendent. I also learned electrical & plumbing among countless things. Keep up the great work, you make it fun for guys like me.

Yea that's a different way of looking at it. It sound like you have the shapes offset from one another. Well thx again. I'll probably do a hexagon sometime just because.

You welcome. Glad it helped you.

That's great @nove1913. Glad it helped?

Yes and a lot!!

What part of your project did you apply this video onto?

Hello @carolynfranke6690. So I would set the compass at half the18.84 cm to half so at 9.42 cm to make that half circle. Divide that half circle in (2) pcs to get (2) pies so that you get your (4) pies. Then simply follow the steps on this video that you got reference to staring at the point where to draw a center line in the middle of the 1/4 pie. This is assuming you have a compass or some sort of made up tool to make perfe t circles or arcs. I will add that because you want it made with 4 pies, it will not come out having a nice radius top for lack of adding more pies. But I understand that sewing 12 pies would be a too much work. Perhaps I'll do up and post it on a shorts and see what it will look like so you have an idea.

Hello, thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I actually accomplished sewing the little hat together in another way. I first got my 1/2 pointy shape, 1/12 of the circle and put repeated it x 3, putting the points together and then drew lines to fill in the spaces at the bottom edge between the 3 pieces. This gave me essentially a 1/4 circle. I then took some old material and cut 4 pieces and sewed them together. Naturally, I got a circle-shaped piece. Then, by moulding this piece on top of a ball that was 37 cm in circumference, and pinning out the excess fabric and adding a band of fabric around I achieved my goal. I cut the mock-up hat in 4 pieces and traced the shape onto cardboard, including the band extension. It worked like a charm. My hat came out perfect. I would love to send you a photo.

Wow that sound very interesting and would see how it came out. So proud of you @carolynfranke6690. If you get the chance yes, get a hold of me through Instagram compass and layouts. Hope to here from you there and see your work. Have a good day.

@ I sent you a message on Instagram so you can see the hat!

Hmmm, no reason at all. Guess I was trying to go in numerical order but that's not how I started the base anyways. You can start either way. This video was too long my eyes were everywhere and so Maybe I was trying to help my brain reach the last stretch of the video. A lil off the subject but I kid you not, I was playing with a square to pentagon transition and was able to get one made. Hopefully I'll post in a few weeks as im on vacation. This was from a post you made a while back.

@compasslayouts I was able to make one too! I wonder if they will be similar.

That's cool @jonahunderhill. Yea I'll post it and wait to see if you take the same steps or perhaps a better way that I can learn from you.

Thx 2 you I'll be posting this video up tomorrow. Have a good day.

Yes and no. It is convenient to use that number also because I know it will fit on video but not too small where it forces me to close the compass too much that you won't be able to make out the lines. There are other videos that the measurement won't land me to the exact inch number but rather a 1/16 of an inch like say 9 in 7/16 length from a 3in pie.

I'll have to figure out a way to put that language into subtitles. Thanks for watching and hope you got some value out of it.

What ever size diameter you choose, set your compass to half of that diameter and make your circle. Then divide the circle in (4) pies.

@ I get that, but how did you get the number to dissect it .

Double the diameter size of the first elbow and cap off both ends and that would be an insulated version.

Oooo that sounds interesting. About 27 inches to 11 inches...yea that big. Yea let me know how it turned out I'm curiouse how it will hold together. Glad it helped and good luck @Mobackenracing.

@@compasslayouts If things go as planned I will have a video of the first test start on my channel late this winter. It is a big bastard and will consume 10 liters of kerosene per minute at full throttle so I really need to get the air into the compressor as smooth as possible to minimize flow losses.

Really bro, that's a first? Wow thx my friend. I'm glad it helped. Just remember once you start getting the hang on doing these layouts..my ways are not necessarily the correct way but that there are other ways of doing it and if your confortable.doing it your way and the outcome is the same By all means doing your way. Have a good day.

Glad it helped

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it

Yea you can appreciate it more when it's 3 dimensional. You know l, that's how I was able to combine both of these shapes to well take on the shape this video shows. Yea, I'm wondering 2 if there's a way to make pedals or leaves from a plant by playing around with the layouts and get it close to resemble one.

Jake, I'm glad that it helped in some way and those comments go a long way and motivate me to keep going and find ways to make it easier to understand. Have a good day.

Hey @xximstupid great question...so pretty simple. Once your layout is done, I put that paper on top of the material your going to cut it out of...I'm assuming aluminum or steel sheet and use a center punch on every corner of the template and then connect the dots. It's a great way to do it on paper then transfer to the material because you can position the template and get as much out of a sheet Hope that made sence..hmmm.. I may do a quick shorts on how the transfer looks like but yea..use a center punch or something you can prick every corner with something like a nail and a lite tap with a hammer.

@@compasslayouts Thank you! That's such a simple method

Glad you enjoyed it! @totally_not_bot

Oooo a pentagon...hmmmm....you got me curiouse...gonna see if I can do one and if I can, I may put it up. Thx for the idea @jonahunderhill

Yes, even if the circle goes outside the square and it's evenly out up down left or right like an cross position, it should be the same. But once you start putting that circle at an angle like an x , that's what I call extreme offsets and instead of doing (2) true length triangles, you'll have to do (4) true length triangles..one for every corner....hopefully you seen those old videos that are three part videos. Hope that helps.

I learned this from a good friend of mine along with co workers or at least the basics of what was required at work. I then started practicing and looking for other ways that could be efficient or make sence to the beginner. I try to make it understandable and especially easy to see the lines. Lol you still got me thinking of that pentagon...can't wait to try it out.

Much appreciated @saikhunkhay3617. Have a good day.

350 round to 450 round straight centered so it's a cone? 350mm = 13"3/4 and 450 mm = 17" 11/16?

Thank you @EMWINMA, hope it helped.

Thank you!! 😊

Much appreciated @user-yw7ck9bv2e. I'm glad you understood it and comments like that keep Motivating ne to keep going.

That's awsome...yea I wish I learned that in high-school. It would have opened a lot of opertunities knowing stuff like this at an early age.

Glad to hear that

Thx so much @justinsinkala.

Goodmorning Kris...yea a 20" diameter would be the same steps as the 8" or anysize for that matter. I'm curiouse as to what your building with a 20"? Have a good day Kris.

​@@compasslayouts we make a water tank sir .. thanks your video sir ❤❤

Thx @justinsinkala, hope it helps you.

Hola @paulohenriquesampaio6243 , esos los puede encontrar en Amazon que les llaman "dividers" o tambien en la tienda de Harbor Freight. Que tenges buen dia.

Can you please be more specific? I'm assuming you asking about a slip roller?

Thank you @phillipsin6102. Hoped it help you and have an awsome.

Sir your What's App number give

Thank you very much @moinulislammolla5536. Comments like that motivate me to keep uploading knowing it's helping someone. Have a good day.

Happy to hear that!

Glad you like them!

Glad you like it @stavoebi3054

Ooohhh with no divider tool (compass). Wow that's pretty big. Well dor starters, seeing how it's a big cone, I would do it in (2)pcs. I would use the same methods like my video called Round to Round Cone...A faster Way. I would probably use a long pc of 1x4 wood and drill a screw on one end acting as a pivot sharp point and on the other end secure a pen or a sharp object to act as a divider and use that to throw your big radius. So on the 2 meters, what ever that is in total Round length, I would only do half of that so in your case only one meter so that way you have (2) half. I may attempt that in the future to show that there are other ways to make big radius arcs without a compass. So like how I mentioned on the video that I suggested to you, maybe after your done doing the big arc radius, use a string to trace the radius but only after you measured the string of the length you looking for. Hope it kinda makes sense but in the mean time I'll try to prep a video of that problem. Thx @dionisioerwinmontejo

Que raro que no lo deja. Pues espero que le haya ayudado y mientras investigo que esta pasando en mi lado. Grasias @adrianburgos8711

Seguro, estoy trabajando en eso.

No problem 👍
