Becoming a better Woodworker with Geometry - Creating the perfect Arch

[@rondavis6017]

I’m Impressed by your videos not just your mathematical skills but you seem to enjoy yourself and that makes all the difference to me watching your videos

[@SlimeDonkeyTV]

I actually watched that first one with my 7 year old daughter. It was great man. Looking forward to this one.

[@adelalukacova7982]

unbelievable easy, unbelievable working. LOVE IT

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you! I hope you come back again and see what else we are up to.

[@brandonbeaumia]

Really like this geometry series!! Practical and well-explained; please don't stop until you run out of techniques to teach!

[@ChadStanton]

I've run out. Hahahah no just kidding. Yes, i will do more. Hope you subscribe to our show.

[@halfbeardsilvertongue5129]

So simple, so obvious, (after the fact), so not widely known. Awesome video! Great job showing that, sir! Thank you!

[@MrBowNaxe]

Great job explaining how it works! Had an old timer show me something similar with a framing square years ago but never got to use it for a real project. Now, I'm making cabinets like the ones you showed and this will save the few hairs I have left! Thanks for sharing.

[@ChadStanton]

I'm glad to help. I love being able to share and keep this wonderful craft alive. Send me some pix when you are done!

[@markthompson4107]

If you have more of these keep them coming! Even if you don't plan on using them, it's always better to have the knowledge and not need it then to need it and not have it. I will be using this one though. Thanks Chad

[@ChadStanton]

Great! I'm glad it helped Mark.

[@carlisleforde50]

Your videos are very educational. Thank you for sharing. you brought back the geometry learned in school. Can you produce a video showing the cupid bow and cyma or S-curves?

[@ChadStanton]

Yes! As a matter of fact I’m probably going to have it done tomorrow. How’s that for timing? 😆

[@carlisleforde50]

@@ChadStanton Ok. Many thanks

[@andressalas4266]

So glad you made this instructional video. I actually used this last night to create some arches(specific dimensions) for templates for an adirondack chair. NEWS FLASH!! THIS METHOD WORKS!! Such a great tip. I will now be the envy of my neighborhood because I can draw specific arch dimensions especially when I am sitting in my chair(s)!! 😜 Thanks Chad and Keep on Dancin'!

[@ChadStanton]

HAhahaha i'm thrilled it worked will for you. I was totally making it up. I had no idea it worked. HAhahah just kidding. I'm happy to help.

[@missygeorge1315]

Brilliant! Can’t wait to see more. I’m going to share this with all my woodworking friends.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you!

[@chrisgriego549]

Great tips. It has been more than 40 years since I studied math. These really help.

[@ChadStanton]

I know! Who knew math could actually come in handy other than counting upi the change i make as a woodworker. Hahahaha thanks for watching

[@robertbock5898]

Outstanding Chad. I've always had trouble with arches. This is really going to help. Keep the geometry lessons coming.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank Robert. I'm glad it helped you.

[@pownonome]

Thank you from Brazil, Nice trick. This will come in handy

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you so much. And I'm thrilled you can watch me in your country. It's quite an honor when i hear from folks from different parts of the world. Thank you again

[@tdkrei]

Great tips, I like accurate shortcuts.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you Terry. Hope you come back again and subscribe.

[@jonathansenior37]

Chad this is great thanks heaps.... how would you transfer this to a door to raise the inside ???

[@ChadStanton]

Send me a picture so i can see exactly what you are dealing with. I'd be happy to try and help you.

[@hollysmith562]

Thanks for the video, I've seen a lot of arches done with routers and jigs but I use hand tools and don't have a router. These tips are very useful

[@ChadStanton]

Thanks Holly. I'm glad you enjoyed it

[@jeffreydibella5751]

Great tip. Please keep them coming.

[@ChadStanton]

Will do. Thanks for watching

[@stevenkofoed1698]

Thanks Chad, these were awesome tips, please show us more. I like the no-nonsense approach.

[@ChadStanton]

No-nonsense. Damn, my middle name is nonsense. Hahaha Completely understand. Thanks Steven

[@edparnell822]

Thanks for sharing. That was a cool tip that will be very handy. I have thought of several applications already.

[@ChadStanton]

That's awesome Ed. Good luck to you!

[@sylvaingregoire9262]

This trick is very handy for future projects 👍🏼😉🇨🇦 Thank you for helping us , the woodworkers , to have less of a headache at the end of the day 😜

[@ChadStanton]

I can help with the geometry, but the headaches you should probably see a doctor and not a woodworker. Hahahah thanks for the comment.

[@mhaz49]

Fantastic. I knew about drawing the arcs, but the two sticks is even simpler.

[@jasonloftis6318]

Awesome!

[@iancraigen]

Absolutely brilliant demo of 3 ways to draw an arch 🎯

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you Ian. I'm glad you found it useful.

[@robertlopez1913]

Hey Chad that was great, I'm now inspired to incorporate curves into a project. Now I'm off to get a compass!

[@ChadStanton]

Thanks great, Robert. I love curves in my pieces i design. I think you will too.

[@jacquesfarouche7962]

That is magnificent.

[@TheWoodYogi]

Thank you Chad :) This will come in really handy, I'd love to see more of these ॐ

[@ChadStanton]

Hey Yogi! Will do. Thanks for watching

[@CASH-TO-THE-MERE101]

The Wood Yogi 🔥

[@JackbenchWoodworking]

Yes, more like this. Thanks Chad

[@ChadStanton]

Thanks Charlie! Hope you are well.

[@nicholasmanovich4330]

Useful ! Thank you!!!

[@reaper060670]

This is brilliant Chad mate. I wouldn't understand how this works without the video tutorial to go with. Nice one pal. So I wanted to ask about the bigger archways let's say for under a double doorway inside between the Living Room & Dining Room?? How do u build those arches? I'm going off the premise that using plywood to build the archway out?? Is that why u used the board just there? U have great experience in this game so I want to ask could u do a full video on how to build the archway under a double door between rooms. I would love to see how that is done. How u get to the final finish, etc. ALSO, Is there any chance of u making a video on how to set the jams of a doorway in correctly? Do u have a video for that in the playlists on here?? The back door to my workshop is damaged badly and I want to put a whole door jam/Frame in but I don't know how to go about it. I want t remove the old one and get the new one in straight away on the same day so I can build and hang the door too.. I bought special locks for the doors of my shop to stop ppl from breaking in. In my area nothing is safe unless it's glued and screwed down.. haha! I need to put new doors in but I'm not well versed enough to put the door jam/frame in. I would very much appreciate a video on both the Archways over a double door and the Door Jams/Frames.. I enjoyed this video very much Chad mate. Thanks for these helpful tips. I'm learning so much from ur channel..

[@dennishaessly9800]

Great job, your a pleasure to watch.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you Dennis. I appreciate that

[@bobgrant04649]

Would love to see you use that to make a doorway arch

[@russstaples6125]

chad, I thought this was the same vid so I didn't watch it till now. Another great vid. THANKS

[@ChadStanton]

I plan on doing some more. I'll make a play list that way people can refer back to it when they need it.

[@mikecurtin9831]

That's pretty brilliant. Thanks very much.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank for watching Mike. Hope you come back again and subscribe

[@MichaelHall-rf3pl]

You’re a f.......g genius Chad. Love your work mate.👍

[@ChadStanton]

Genius? I don't think so. My wife calls me an idiot. :-) Thanks for watching.

[@pennyroyal3813]

Great video and a nice looking hammer.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you. The second hammer i used to nail the sticks together has been in my family for 4 generations. It's from 1826. :-)

[@Handleyman]

Please please please do a video on wood finishes. When to use on what type of wood in what application. 🙏

[@ChadStanton]

Not a bad suggestion. I'll make a note of it. Thanks

[@Mrdannychips]

Grate video. I can see how you have taken every thing on board, when you ask a question and you deliver a good product. Keep up the good work but Don’t work to hard.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you. Hard work is something i never shy away form. I love a challenge. I truly appreciate your comment.

[@davidbriggs5778]

Chad, thank you for this and the previous video - is there anyway thing in print that covers these geometric applications?

[@ChadStanton]

Sorry i do not, but that's a good idea. I should add that to my newsletter. Sign up here if you want, it's free. www.woodchoppintime.com/

[@nathargrove]

Awesome techniques, precise but simple! This makes me wish I paid attention in geometry class !! Keep up the great demo's !!

[@ChadStanton]

I know, right! I hated school. Now i wish i paid attention. My mother always told me one day i would. I hate it when she is right! :-)

[@deathy17]

Great video, Thanks Chad

[@ChadStanton]

Your welcome Deathy. Hope you are still around for the next one. Hahahaha thanks again

[@DavidBishopinc]

Nice. I’d really like to see a video of this technique on a large scale. 😁👍🏼

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you Augusto.

[@donalddean3314]

Thanks, looking for more. How about andding more to your plate and publish a book, Geometry for Woodworkiers. Been looking for this for years.

[@ChadStanton]

Books are a LOT of work. I have one coming out this Sept. It is no fun at all. But i am proud of it.

[@randyt]

Great tips. More geometry please!

[@ChadStanton]

YOu got it, Randy!

[@dwjattila]

Nice job. Keep’em coming 👍

[@ChadStanton]

Will do, Don. Thanks for watching

[@FormerlyKnownAsAndrew]

"So the way we're going to get a perfect arch ....is by using math" You almost lost me there lollll. Another truly great video.

[@santinojessieavilapreslie9851]

Very Good technique 😉

[@ChadStanton]

thank you. We will be doing more in this series

[@davidnonomura1975]

Nice! Very useful.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you David. Hope you subscribe because we will be doing more int he future.

These geometry tricks are amazing. In my country, we used to learn about these tricks - obviously not to be applied only to woodworking but everything else. Not anymore - too bad!

[@ChadStanton]

Sometimes it helps to actually see where these tips can be used, otherwise it just feels like boring math. Thanks for watching

[@wjphillip]

Great, more please.

[@ChadStanton]

Will do, Bill.

[@shaunbarrickman6339]

Good stuff!

[@ChadStanton]

Thanks Shaun, i will probably do more in the future

[@ChadStanton]

You are welcome. Everything is easy when you know how. I just need to find the easy way to make money now. Hahaha thanks again

[@carbonitegamorrean8368]

Reminds me of the "draw a circle w/ a square". trick. I have never ever needed that nor tried. but that two stick thing is da bomb fo-sho.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you. It does come in handy

[@texsox]

You're making math teachers seem cool. Can you do something for English teachers?

[@ChadStanton]

Nope, English teachers still suck! Hahahahah thanks Jim.

[@texsox]

Chad Stanton ouch, that hurts. Lol

[@ChadStanton]

Hahahah Sorry Jim. I guess i have issues still with my 9th grade English teacher. Maybe i should see a therapist? Hahaha thanks so much. Check out tomorrows video, you might smile.

[@texsox]

Chad Stanton fair enough, I have a shop teacher that caused men nightmares lol

[@ChadStanton]

What's his name? I'll send Safety Dan after him. Hahahaha

[@dennishaessly9800]

Thanks nice job

[@brianp1993]

Ok the 2 stick trick, Oooo I rhymed 😁, was pretty awesome!

[@ChadStanton]

Hahahah thanks Brian

[@brianp1993]

Love your channel Chad! And drink one for me Safety Dan!

[@ChadStanton]

I'm sure he'll drink a few for ya. Hahahaha Thanks Brian

[@brianp1993]

[@munkytaint666]

anytime i can use a compass instead of a calculator, i say HELL YEAH! great one, thanks Chad!

[@jamesjones-ly3qi]

loved it keep it up

[@ChadStanton]

Thank James. Will do!

[@nectarinc.6594]

Some more please. And yes, you're smarter than you think you are.

Yes, more like this.نعم

[@ChadStanton]

Will do. Thanks for watching

[@emmettbohannan1217]

I’ve been rejuvenated with this method....I graduated in 1966 and had good math skills back then, but if you don’t use it, you lose it ....thanks....

[@geraldsmith7951]

What is the reason to connect the width to the height did I miss something?

[@MatthewBuntyn]

Based on Chad's answer, I think I misunderstood the question

[@ChadStanton]

It's important because if the height was taller than the width it wouldn't work out right if you didn't use that step.

[@RadddahTat]

More!

[@mehmetaktepe3090]

👍👍

[@LetsGoHelio]

Unbelievable that people have given this video a thumbs down.

[@jettkeyser9909]

Appreciate the Geometry

[@ChadStanton]

I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Thank you

[@CASH-TO-THE-MERE101]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jeffcarr392]

This could have been done with string too. Great concept.

[@ChetKloss]

Another triumph!

[@ChadStanton]

Thank you Chet.

[@lestergrayson3049]

I could have used that trick three days ago working on a cabinet in my shop

[@ChadStanton]

Oops. Sorry. :-)

[@mardakworkshop4450]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍😍

[@mikeanderson9276]

I have a Radius Calculator app on my phone put in the rise and length you desire and it tells you the Radius you need from a pivoit point. Yep... layout table too.

[@ChadStanton]

very cool

[@Stigas80]

If you think of it, woodworking is the reason why geometry existed in the first place.

[@redstick3900]

Way too cool.

[@ChadStanton]

Thanks Red

[@kkk-nn9sq]

How to make hart shape...

[@richhubert1260]

Not my cup of tea.... but still give you a thumbs up.

[@ChadStanton]

Thank Rich. I understand we all have different ways of learning. And i prefer coffee over tea too. :-) Thanks for watching

[@richhubert1260]

Chad Stanton oh I see what you just did there..... Lol

[@ChadStanton]

:-)

[@jrobiii1]

I love to find new ways to NOT use math. Great video!

[@ChadStanton]

Math hurt my head. Hahahah I'm a simple guy. I can't handle complex. :-)
