How to Draw an Ellipse

[@henryworkswoodandmetal]

Wow..... complicated stuff.... simplified..👍 well done!

[@americanfaithandfreedom]

I just watched 3 other videos on how to draw an ellipse... this is the best by far!

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

Thank you!! Glad you liked it!!😁

[@elginscott99]

Excellent job of instruction. This coming from a 27 year veteran teacher. VERY comprehensible!!

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

Thank You!! 😁👍🏻

[@brewbuildsit]

Thanks so much for the tip on the fishing line and cable stops, I was wondering how I was going to keep everything accurate and consistent.

[@terrybodenhorn3508]

Very useful - thank you.

[@Wood_Slice]

love the cord action

[@rogerlein2216]

Enjoyed that very helpful wish you all the success in your Chanel

[@bobmartin6055]

Thanks!! Wish you had been my math teacher! Teachers often fail to relate math to anything relatable, especially for kids that are hands on learners.

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

Thanks for watching, I agree with that completely, math is very poorly taught!!

[@BobL1]

Fantastic explanation!

[@rodpotts2666]

That was a great video! Very interesting.i said wtf when we started but I think I got it.

[@renegutierrez1699]

Very very useful and complete explanation, your channel deserves much more views/subscribers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

- E X C E L L E N T E ! ! ! Thanx 4 the math class in making an Ellipse.

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

Thank you!! Glad you liked it!

[@willyzook]

Fantastic video! This is by far the most thorough explanation I’ve come across. Thank you very much for taking the time to make this and share it!

[@tuncayorucartteacher4407]

Your work is great Stay well

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

Thank You!!

[@pollyanna8473]

Very nice and easy explanation, but how do a make an oval with a specific circumference?

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

Thank You! Remember there are 2 axises Major and minor, these will give you the length and width of your ellipse so you don’t need the circumference. Hope that helps!

[@pollyjazz]

@@thebuilditchannel8609 thank you for your answer. I do actually need to make an oval to a specific size. I am making a pattern and need to attach fabric to the sides so i need the exact measurements for it to fit together. I don't understand how to calculate the circumference or perimeter using the major and minor axis. I guess there is some kind of formula that i have long forgotten or never understood because i was never very good at math anyway.

[@johnjensen8560]

Very informative and well done video!! I also would appreciate a link to the adjustable cable seals that you used. Thank you in advance. John Jensen

[@ivanhrvat8829]

👍⚽🇭🇷

[@incredibleknowledge6806]

Does the length of minor axis be in accordance to major axis (maybe by a formula) , or we can pick any two values? Btw great video, Very helpful

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

You can pick any two values for the major and minor axis, all dependent on what look your after. When the two axis have the same value you have a circle, so your either elongating the circle vertically or horizontally.

[@ach3322]

Thank you for your explanation. How can one draw an ellipse on a piece of paper without using nails to anchor the focal points though? I am trying to draw an ellipse for a painting.

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

Thanks!! There is a way to draw out an ellipse which I briefly show in the video but I don’t have a full video. I’m sure you can find a video on KZbin showing that method, there are quite a few steps.

[@musclesmiyazaki]

This is magic

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

Thanks!! 😁👍🏻

[@elginscott99]

exactly what kind of cable seal is that? I've seen them tons of times and now I cannot find them.

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

I got that at Home Depot just a cable seal in the hardware section.

[@charlesvillaluz9946]

can you link to the "cable seals" at homedepot or something similar. I can't find them.

[@LtBill]

I appreciate the idea of using non stretch line with cable ties. However I have looked all over the internet to find these two items and have come up with nothing. Will you help by giving source information?

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

The line is Fishing Line which you can get on Amazon or a local fishing shop. The cable ties you can get at Home Depot or online at McMaster-Carr.

[@LtBill]

Thank you for your quick response. Much appreciated. It is the 200 lb. test line I am having trouble locating but I can deal with that. Thank you again.

[@vinhluong2671]

Can you please slow down how to make the double eclipse please

[@00baitsy]

Where can I get those cable seals??

Walang mas madali project Kasi namin please

[@michaeloliver3507]

AN "ECLIPSE" @4.48 IS A:the total or partial obscuring of one celestial body by another - YOU ARE DRAWING AN "ELLIPSE" - POOR EXAMPLE VIDEO WHEN YOU CHANGE THE TOPIC HALFWAY THROUGH THE VIDEO???

[@thebuilditchannel8609]

I’m aware of that, it’s called a mistake. I assumed most people were smart enough to realize that in a video clearly about drawing an ellipse, you would not get confused and think I completely changed the topic without any visual representation of an eclipse, solar, lunar or otherwise. I guess the moral of the story is don’t assume!!
