Have you ever seen an ellipse archway? They look great, right?! Have you ever wondered how to make one of those arches yourself? Most people struggle, as it's an art that isn't taught often. In this video, I run you through start to finish on how to build an ellipse arch!
Hardly any math involved, all you need is a tape measure, pencil, square and a string line.. Let's make it happen!

That was pretty cool getting a shout out. My kids started screaming. They told me I was also now a famous KZfaqr. I had to laugh. You definitely did simplify the process. There are for sure much more complicated ways of doing it. Have fun enjoying the rest of your Coronavacation.

It’s good to see someone (you) sharing these tips and tricks, where others don’t think about it. Thumbs up mate.

How to show and describe the process that even simple folk like me can understand super easily, that was a cracking video bud

Totally not even what I'm going to be doing but that is just so cool. I was just looking for how to install long plywood boards on a curve van roof without it falling off. So I won't be working with one big piece whatsoever but that was just really cool to see. In fact I don't even know exactly what I just watched all I know is that the math worked. Bravo.

We used to eyeball 1 inch PVC pipe for our arches. Looking back maybe it wasn’t the most perfect method but it was fast and never had a complaint

@adrianuk8102 Жыл бұрын

There’s easier way of creating that arch, as a brickie we used to cut boards to the width of the door or window, find the middle and then run the pencil attached to string line around the top. 5 min job and perfect arch every time 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hey Matt, i enjoy the videos you're doing great. Quick question, I'm new to the construction game and I'm in a situation where I'm being trained for a construction management position with little existing experience. What would you suggest to be a great learning point for the basics, in addition to asking people on site how things work and watching youtube videos an hour a day or so? I'd appreciate the response, thanks.

Excellent explanation overall. but I'm confused on the number for the rise. Is the rise just an arbitrary number that you pick? I got confused at that part. I have an 84 inch area I'm going to build an archway in, and I'm trying to adapt your numbers to what I have. Thanks.
