How-To: Laying Out & Building A Round Arch!

[@MattBangsWood]

Hope everyone is hanging in there with this quarantine going on.. We’re safe and sound here in California! Did this help you? Want to learn more about arches? I can get crazy technical with some trick arches if you’d like! More on this? BANG ON!

[@TFoxeInAE320]

Stay safe bro!! Thanks for the great content!

[@wadebarret100]

Thanks, it looks super easy.

[@gnomechump-stiny7128]

Wow, thanks. That was so easy.

[@1portico]

Very simple and well done! Would love to see you lay out an ellipse. Thanks for producing these very informative videos to help out the younger generation. Hopefully it inspires the creation of more qualified Tradesman. Bang on!

[@MattBangsWood]

I'm hoping it does just that! Kids need to know that being able to build isn't something to be ashamed of. 11 months subscribed, I appreciate you like crazy KaitzConstruction! You've been here since Day 1. I'll get going on an ellipse lay-out!

[@armymobilityofficer9099]

I do not know how many videos I have looked at on curved archways. Most were a waste of time. This is the best one. Thanks. THUMBS UP

[@hamb7260]

I don't think there is a better explanation/video than this one. I have made few arches in my lifetime, but this makes a whole lot more sense than what I have done in the past. Thanks a bunch!

[@Thumbs0311]

I would love to see a full series of videos going into a lot of detail, almost classroom-like, with a sort of Carpentry/Framing 101

[@matthewvanselow1979]

This was a very informative video on laying out and cutting an arch. It’s something I always wanted to learn. Thanks for taking the time to show how it’s done.

[@willlopez8650]

Matt u make it look easy bro! My foreman makes it alot harder for me to learn and doesnt really know how to explain the process all that well . so yeah bro great work 👍

[@karkasgid]

This video is a unique material, I did not think that I was surprised at something in frame houses, but it turned out, thanks!

[@tomsqueri5137]

All your videos are excellent, but I think these in depth instructional videos add a lot of value to the trades. Please keep them coming. Thanks.

[@matthewhill3416]

Nice Simple video!!👍Good job Matt. I'd love to see more videos on Arches. The more technical the better!!

[@BaconDanish]

Here is one for you.: Explain the writing on and useage of a speed square. Tips and tricks.

[@dustinrowell6196]

I've worked in vast amounts of framing and finish carpentry for over 25 years. I really enjoyed your videos of framing arch work. My favorite is a circular oliptical arch!! Please put out a video

[@keithstoneholdmystones1259]

Matt your awesome man!!I seen a comment asking you to cover this content and sure enough you delivered! Your work ethic is supremo!!

[@Sava12242]

An infinite thanks for this impeccably explained and shown process! I have to make a sizable arch for a theater set and was fretting a bit until coming upon this magnificent tutelage, keep up the phenomenal work!

[@julietphillips1991]

Thanks, you gave a very easy to understand and follow tutorial. It does not seem difficult the way you explain it...I guess now a little practice is all that is left.

[@keeganmckeown547]

Getting closer to 100k subs! So proud of the Panella crew and your hard work that is out into each video!

[@keeganmckeown547]

Also want to mention this video is very informational, great for young bucks learning something a little more complex than framing a standard wall

[@ralphsullivan8972]

Thank you very much for that great easy learning lesson on arches. You and your crew works very well together. You always have very clean job site & safe as well from what I see. I've ben in the trade of carpentry for 40 yrs or so I'm glad your passing on your trade to others. Keep up the outstanding work.

[@JMacho-zk5dt]

Thank you my man, this video help me out a whole lot.👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@Gustavo-et5tf]

Thank you for the refresher . Don’t always do arches got some coming up . Thank you

[@donellweathersby9163]

Very valuable Information, thanks for making it plain Matt

[@PawPaws_Place]

Thanks for the info. My house plans don’t have any arches but I think I might use this to add two on the front. Thanks again. 🙌👍

[@bobbond9730]

Very well explained video. Keep up the good work. 👍🏻

[@richardhussey8388]

I always used the floor in the house to snap, scribe and cut my arches.also set your saw to the thickness of the plywood for easier cutting.

[@MrSshagster]

Appreciate these videos. Simple, breakdowns. Awesome

[@robwright3064]

What a simple methodology that’s repeatable with consistency!

[@annettepadmore1608]

This video was very informative, clearly explained, and easily demonstrated. Thanks Matt. We really appreciate it!

[@ChristianRamirez-pr8xn]

Easiest method I seen man! Keep banging brother!

[@therealgirlinthewoods]

THANK YOU! So awesome and easy :) very helpful

[@stefboulas]

Thanks for sharing Matt

[@rickbabcock6397]

The craziest arch's I built was on a turret entry. Of course the outside was a larger arch than the inside. It can be fun being a carpenter.

[@teinahart359]

Awesome video. I’m an apprentice carpenter in New Zealand and continuously trying to learn. The only difference I’d make is take the circumstance of the opening and use a string like to get the opening size

[@alex12vicentinho26]

very well explained gracias Matt i follow you from Bradenton Florida

[@tareboda-3436]

The best one I have found so far ... Cheers 🤘

[@roachez27]

Do a video on how you square your walls on a slab. I live in Colorado and we square our walls pulling corners and then nailing to the sub deck to hold in place.

[@ryanlarocca1430]

Definitely do some more of this please

[@romansh1357]

Great video man you are a total Arch builder

[@cameronoverfield8764]

Good video Matt, you have had good teachers your a good builder

[@Malomex13]

Another awesome video Matt. Thank you sharing your knowledge with us..

[@bellfaery77]

Great video!! You made it super to understand!!

[@T.E.P.]

such a fun build! great explanation tooo

[@efrainyanez1708]

Very smart guy, nicely explained

[@jacobheitmann6795]

Yah dawg I'd appreciate some more arch videos I appreciate it very much

[@joseandrade8037]

Thanks brother leaned something new today!

[@robertpreston7169]

Nice sweatshirt! Framer mag or what? RC would be proud hahaha

[@kylewoodward7078]

How about a Arched door opening and trimming it out. That would be great. Excellent video!

[@Gomers66]

Heck yeah bud, I'd love to see you do all types of arches

[@FritsvanDoorn]

Good instruction. Useful. Thank you. I have seen openings with a part of a kind of cirkel, not a complete half circle. How would you do that?

[@simeonlopez7447]

Very interesting I love the idea of how you laid it out.

[@Andrewjade1]

You do a great job

[@stevestratigos4585]

Great video. I wonder if u could do a video on a segmented arch. I don’t think it’s the same as an elliptical arch. It’s the kind u see on a segmented radius barn doors or carriage house double doors. The kind with eye brow windows. Anyway. Would love to see that one I want to build some barn doors in the future with that architectural element. Thanks. Steve S

[@pacificnwcarpenter5486]

Another good video. It's good refresher on doing arch ways. What's the finish going to be?

[@TheHiddenleaf03]

Great explanation on everything. I will be building an arch for haunted house and will use your method. Would be cool to learn how to do a full circular entrance like a sewer opening or moon gate.

[@eddielopez4516]

Great video simple and easy, thanks..keep up the great videos..

[@atomicslam1589]

Kudos for taking the time with this.....be careful to not assume the viewers knowledge when talking about this stuff. It can very quickly turn into you displaying your knowledge, as opposed to teaching the viewer a technique. That can happen VERY easily, and without you knowing it, because there's no one there to tell you to slow it down, or that the camera isn't picking up a something important that relates to what you're doing.

[@cupofjoe20]

Do you have any videos on broken hips? I gotta house coming up in January that has a broken hip I live in Texas so we cut all of our roofs I’ve never done trusses. Just want a little info on how to do one

[@toddsheffield4271]

Would love to see you lay out a Gothic arch. I have my method but I am always willing to learn new tricks. Thanks for the Vids Matt, learning a lot.

[@MattBangsWood]

Keep an eye out on second channel. I got you.

[@betterthanbeforehomeservic9698]

I just made a Turkish style arch with a point in the center on my current addition.

[@arshadmahmood2955]

Brilliant work mate I love the arch work 🙂👍

[@albertocarreno2656]

Hey this video was awesome. It really really helped!

[@jeffshackleford3152]

You can also setup a trammel ( trommel maybe? Idk I have never seen it spelled) and use the router. That is how I built curved moldings in 2d flat arches. 3d arches are much more difficult. 3d would be the bottom side of your arch above where you walk through the door or gate.

[@DailyMobbin]

For a min in the beginning I thought I was watching essential craftsman🎶 lol

[@MattBangsWood]

Is that his tune? I just download random crap from Audio Library. 😂

[@1portico]

@@MattBangsWood very similar

[@keeganmckeown547]

MBW is a much better channel. Love watching real framing.

[@bgillie33]

@@keeganmckeown547 just curious the essential craftsman isn't doing real framing in his videos? He's literally been doing a series of how to build a house for months. Including all of the framing in detail🤷‍♂️

[@donmamon9263]

KEEGAN MCKEOWN ec is much more experienced than Matt(respect the both of them)

[@terryguill6978]

Hey Matt love the videos.Just wondering what kind of forklift that is thanks

[@jesusHerrera-rc7kr]

Thank you I really enjoyed the video

[@chevy1986]

Great stuff man, what about measuring and cutting those hips up there. Thanx

[@ruthnaomiescamilla7359]

What kind of wood are you using to make the arches and what’s the with or thickness of the wood?

[@markmcgregor526]

Good work I understand it now can you show how do it on concrete structure

[@keithN6]

Look at you with the vintage Stanley.

[@MattBangsWood]

I love that tape.

[@willlopez8650]

Can u do different types of arches

[@kevinwilliams2986]

Thank you very much I’ve never built an arch. I’m trying to install (2) new 69”X36” windows.

[@louisdimenna880]

Thank u for the videos Matt u the best

[@madmax3864]

Hay Matt thanks for that I am bliding a dolls house 🏠 for a little girl 👧 good job 👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌😎😎😎🤙

[@faridmohsini9225]

Matt nice video can you make eyebrow arch cut out please thanks

[@alihosseini3404]

Thank you 😂 I was done but now I know wtf should I do

[@sirensignalmedia]

I needed to make one for 10 foot opinning. However., this video was explained very well and amazing work. Wondered if i could make it out of 2x4 and cover it with playwood after. Thanks. Blessing to your family.😘🔥👏👏🤌👌🤜👊🤛💯🙏👍

[@moe4204]

More arches!!!!

[@carlosgalvan1735]

Thanks Matt very helpful. Im trying to replace a rectangle window with a half circle up un top if you could Guide me the right direction I would really appreciate it

[@alexanderdrywall3043]

My friend this is the way I’ve been doing this for years. Can you show us a dome build in the future?

[@eliezerreyes4697]

More videos like this, bro

[@hardracer]

Could you explain an elliptical arch?longer bottom left to right,shorter top to bottom..I think I know but want clarification.we have that kind on our house.

[@MattBangsWood]

Soon, soon, soon. I'll make it happen!

[@maxochavez5854]

I still need the different arch’s video!

[@fishslayer626]

Nice vide and helpful 👍👍👍.

[@MsElijah16]

Bang on

[@jamesgibson8258]

good tip

[@iesgarcia3173]

How do you build an arch when is more flat and the radium is so big, for example a radium of 30 ft. I have some way to do it but I would like to know if there are other way to make more easy?

[@FamilySmith]

Awesome! Now~ Can you show me how to screen in these arches on my back porch? :P

[@gradythompson442]

hows that denail 2.0 working for yah, should make a video out it

[@gersonrubengarcia]

Can you please, show us how you do the lay out, to install a Dome

[@lorenrickey5481]

Matt, try resting the pencil against the side of your tape measure. Easier to hold.

[@zoeyanth1]

I might have missed it.. doing it this way, I get how you do the header height . How do you get the bottom measurement? Or is this only for half circles ?

[@MattBangsWood]

This specifically is only half circles.. Ellipses are different, but I have a video on my channel showing those too!

[@jeffshackleford3152]

Maybe a video on elliptical arches would be good. As opposed to true arches.

[@amonddzaw]

Wow! 🤌

[@rickrollin4570]

Can you do a video on an arch in a curved wall?

[@Carl-LaFong1618]

8:12 The Spinaroonie.

[@garethheathcote4988]

They are just semi circles though aren't they? ( I don't mean this in an offensive way) here in England we have to build Arch formers for the bricklayers to lay their bricks on so that they can remove the former when the cement had cured and then becomes self supporting. It gets trickier when the at arch is not half of a circle but more elliptical or oval shaped so for example 100 inches wide but only 25 inches high. It's not that difficult to calculate once you know how(which I would imagine that you do). It involved finding the centre of the circle and working from that, I remember being taught it in carpentry college I just couldn't get my head around it at the time. Perhaps do a video forming one like this at I'm sure people would find it interesting and very helpful. Thanks for the video Matt. 👍😃

[@MattBangsWood]

I have a video on how to figure out an ellipse.
