This is really where it begins. How to measure is the foundation of all builds. I've learned so much from you. This cardboard mockup with the fine details of curves, angles, extra pieces, holes, grommets for holes, wood donut tool... just marvelous stuff for my brain. I wish I had a teacher like you in my childhood. I'd be an inventor by now. Thank you, Maestro G!

You were so lucky to have woodshop in school. I grew up in another country attending a private girls school where they made you do embroidery! No woodshop, not even something useful like knitting or sewing, but embroidery! Useless. We were being groomed for marriage and nothing more. Fortunately, I rebelled, broke away from the mold and learned DIY on my own. I craved woodshop as a young girl. Now I can build to my hearts content. So grateful to this channel for a superb education. So much to learn.

Just found your channel, and have binge watched for a few days. Much wisdom and practical knowledge shared.. Kudos on your efforts. One trick I learned from another skilled craftsman, determine your measurement tolerance, 1/16 or 1/32, etc and always use that fractional term in all measurements to avoid confusion. 23 and 3/4 becomes 23 and 12, 14 and 3/8 becomes 14 and 6, etc for a 16th of an inch standard. Thanks for all the fantastic ideas for solutions and sharing the process of following through on your Einstein level concepts!

Tip: when you scribe the wheel well with the hole saw off-cut the scribed arc is larger than the wheel well arc. If you cut your template to that arc you can use the same hole saw off-cut to scribe back to the wheel well. Hope this makes sense ... (you can also use a fender washer).
@HumbleRoad 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, there is a point where if you make one more scribe/cut, you've gone too far. Obviously, a compass is better, but as I said, I can't help myself, I love rolling that little wheel! As long as my end result is the same, I choose fun!
@edwardthomas7022 3 жыл бұрын
@@HumbleRoad Ok, it didn't make sense. I'll try again. It's about offsets. If you were to scribe around a dinner plate with your little wheel you could cut a template where the hole is larger than the plate by the diameter of the wheel (less the center hole). If you were to then use that template with the same wheel the scribe would be the same size as plate. You only need to scribe twice.

@@HumbleRoad As I explained to the old carpenters I worked w in the ‘70’s No need to convert Metric tape measures has little lines & numbers just like imperial ones. You would call out measurements to the saw man just like now. He would have the same numbers & little lines on his tape as you. Easier to learn. We were taught metric in all grade levels in school. No more “it’s 24 inches & 3 little lines” from new guys on the job. We through all that & only have 2 litre bottles of Pepsi to show for it. Brother Humble, Your ply & Sprinters are made to metric measurements If the USA had gone metric back in the 60’s, ‘70’s, conversion wouldn’t be considered today. Also the Challenger disaster would have been avoided. ‘O’ rings Specs were in metric. But made in imperial. Kaboom! Lives Lost due to ignorance

Determining the curve around the wheel well seems so tedious and more importantly, time consuming . I'm sure there must be a geometry formula or a tool to accomplish the task faster. A thought that came immediately to my mind, is a stiff, but pliable material that could be molded to the wheel well but not lose its shape when removed to be transferred to cardboard. Perhaps a heavy gauge wire, or a piece of aluminum stock?
