I do arches with out math really thee is a simple way to do it with out a calculator or math And I build solid one pour Concreted staircases with concaved edges with out a calculator .... but a good video for the people that need to use Calculators and can not function with out Tech
I haven’t layed out any arches in a minute. We were doing radial arches on this one health first building , all suspended. That was a fun one . Metal studs of course .
Yeah lve done this on giant buildings with my chalk line and a marker and my huge brain. That being said its is great to have a construction master calculator.l took a course on its use when l got my Jouneymans card .They make life easy.
Or you can square off center of your arch snap a line from bottom of arch to top of arch measure center pull a string line where it intersects with the center that’s your pivot point
Mark center, mark your rise and run, draw a line between the center rise and 1 of the run marks. Find center and draw a square line off that, where that line intersects the center line is the pivot point. I have a video explaining
Answer of height of the Arch squared +half the width squared. Divided by twice the height of the arch . Basically the hypotenuse squared divided by twice the height of the Arch.
How does that wrk when your run is over 8 ft 9-1/2 inch but the ply wood is only 8ft?? Pls explain. Or Did you start with wider ply wood and cut it to 8ft -9-1/2 inch then you pulled off ea corner of plywood to get nail point for arch ? That all makes sense in my head as long as the plywood I see there isn’t just 8ft it had to be 8 ft 9-1/2 inch right???? Wish I was smarter but that’s why I’m commenting to hopefully add some knowledge to the bank!
You can do it without a calculator chalk a center line measure up your height on centerline set a nail and pull a tape measure down centerline then set a nail at start of radius pull a tape to centerline where both tapes read the same measurement that is your focal point incase your batteries die good vid tho bro
yeah i was wondering where he was getting 9.5 from cause i thought that was an 8ft ply. i’m a sheetrocker not a framer so not too familiar with plywoods
I'm confused. You said the run was 8 ' 91/2" but you pulled your tape measure from the corners of an 8' sheet to get your focal point instead of 8' 9 1/2"?
I have a different way to do it…… I’m a self learner I’ve seen people doing this… but I don’t like to ask people…… so here it is thanks man……… We framers here in Chattanooga Tennessee rarely do arches……
Question: Have you ever had the old heads looking down on you for using a calculator in the construction field? I dont think it really matters that much because time is money and you dont have to write a big arse equation and solve it on paper. I could be wrong, but as long as you know how to frame walls and layout studs the right way it doesn't matter. Basically, the right way should be the right way, no matter how its tackled. More than one way to kill two birds with one stone is what I say.

@Chris Reynolds Rameriz.
Sorry my voice to text is not to your liking chris
How you displayed the calculator and explained this was excellent, subscribed! Thanks
Appreciate it’s
And this is where my math left the room.
The calculator is a construction calculator - it does all the working
Please make more video like this. Like how to calculate the ridge? Etc. great work!!!
Very nice! 👏
Thank you 🙏
The calculator solved for R = H/2 + (W^2)/8H in case anyone was wondering.
Where:
H = 26.5”
W = 105.5”
nope. nobody was wondering.
You gotta know the math !
You really don’t need to know the math or much math…..I’m super impressed w this kid though and proud to see him care and be so knowledgeable as a carpenter.
There are times when laying out a large radius , obstructions are in the way, and you do need to know the math to plot out on the x,y axis .
I could give you the same arch with something long and flexible and 2 nails and my center mark…….let’s not get crazy here
Well done.
I like these little videos teaching people new things they may have not known. Thanks.
Great content 🎉
I know three ways to do that and none of them use math, so I'm kinda glad for the guy who gave the formula above.
And just like that I learned something. Awesome. Tips have been great from your recent posts
AWESOME for a youngster !!!! You have a future my man !!!!
It's not rocket science bro
Glad to see the fireplace is installed. We often have to wait.
Good shit bro. Sparky here. I enjoy your videos.
I was taught with a string and pencil looks like this is a good way as well subscribe love watching new tricks
Thank you excellent job showing the calculator. That gets a sub
Pretty cool!
we always use two tapes....one on corner one at m8ddle rise....match numbers.....thats your point

Makes sense, I like it.. I use the same app so cool stiff
Thx
Damn bro this helped me on a job that I had to make a arch form out of nowhere for the first time and I followed your steps and I killed ir
Heck yea! Glad it helped

Some wholesome well needed math. That felt good frfr!
Get your center and a corner pull 2 tapes when the numbers match that’s your point , swing it .
Wow! Mad skills.
So mark that down kids the way you calculate an arch is to punch it in to your calculator
😂
everyone has one on them aka phone
@@DevinM420 you dont have a construction master on your phone
@CWC no I don't.. I was going to download it but they want me to pay monthly
@@DevinM420 its $20 for your lifetime... I am on my 4th phone.
What do you expect him to write out some long equation and solve it on paper? Time is money and the calculator is always faster.

I have three ways of doing it. Try it
Rise x rise
Plus
Run x run
Divided by twice the rise
There it is every time
Easy no calculator required
Picture it vertical and it looks more elliptical. I never used a calculator for that cause I wasn’t sure how. Pretty cool.
Awesome job and explaining how to do arches
That's oriented strand board, not plywood..
And that subfloor looks like it got very wet before the roof was on
You make the best videos out there very informative
Never seen it done this way
So was that not an 8ft run mark out? Or was the sheet 8’-91/2” I like the method just little confused on that part.
Thanks.
Exactly, the sheet was a little longer
Is that piece of plywood 8’-9 1/2” long? That was the run, so I assume you had 10’ sheets that you cut down to fit the run? (I’m assuming hallway?)
Very nice
We just put the plywood up and cut the excess off. 😂 😅
Thank you and please keep going!
I see how you figure width but how did you figure hight with the arch way up there?
You make that more difficult than it should be
But your run is only 8', width of the plywood, not 8' 9 1/2"
That’s a piece of tall wall OSB, look before commenting lol
Lol that’s what I’m talking about people don’t think before speaking
That's what I was thinking to..
I caught that bruh. Yup something don't sound right 😕 😮
yeah i was wondering where he was getting 9.5 from cause i thought that was an 8ft ply. i’m a sheetrocker not a framer so not too familiar with plywoods
Was think about greenhouse hoops
Damn Just Bieber building houses now ! ? 😳
I learned to do these without a dam calculator
Ive been eating taco bell all day trying to get some runs
Said 8-9 1/2 marks an 8ft sheet of plywood
come measure it. look closely its two pieces
Yeah buddy….well done.
No no your a great wood worker you just can't screw 🥊
Oh yeah thanks dude
I'm just curious on how the osb was placed so perfectly
I totally would have nailed that peice up and used a flush trim router on the over hang 😅
This doesn’t nail against anything to reference, it’s a freestanding arch so the radius didn’t exist until I cut it
That bag looks way too heavy to the left , it could pull you over in high winds try to reduce its weight or certainly don't add to it
Wrong. First thing you need is a devistating mustache like this dude. Respect
Surprised they’re not using Advantech on a house with that view.
Just nail it and cut it out. Geesh. Could've done installed and cut out 3 sheets by the time you lay one out.
Lets race!
how do you find the focal points of an elliptical arch?
We just throw it up there and cut it with a router
Holy shit how long is your hammer handle 😅
So is this what Justin Bieber does nowadays?
Thank you
Now do it as an oval
I actually did an ellipse for the first time on this same house, using two focal points and a string
@@Coffmanconstruction anything on a house that's not square is a pita to tackle, but once it's complete it's all bragging rights
What is that app?
I'm confused. You said the run was 8 ' 91/2" but you pulled your tape measure from the corners of an 8' sheet to get your focal point instead of 8' 9 1/2"?
Who said the sheet was 8’?

@lenzsanchez2484 how do you do it your way?

You punched the numbers into a construction calculator and that's how you calculate the radius for an arch. OK! Oh dear!
Safety glasses required
What happens to the 8’9 1/2” ?
That is the width of the opening you want the arch to go into, and the 26-1/2 is the height of the top of the arch
So did you just cut a sheet of plywood wood at 9 1/2” and lay it next to the other sheet?
@@jasonperez0 exactly! And I stitched them together with a block

Nail board in place and cut with a recip saw
Here's how we calculate (proceeds to have a calculator calculate)
Hence why he said calculate. You think?
He could've assumed that a large number of carpenters carry a scientific calculator around with them. He'd be wrong, and I rest my case.
8' 9" 1/2 ? I'm confused that's an 8' sheet of plywood
Is it? It’s not
Idk that's why I'm confused 🤣🤔
Yeah that part needs some 'splainin before my brain can get on board
