    Was working on a project earlier today going absolutely crazy trying to use string to make a circle. Wasted about an hour messing around with that before finding this video and I just want to say thank you for saving my sanity :)

    Awesome! I'm going to combine this with a yard stick! Honestly, can't believe I didn't think of it but I"m so glad you put this video on here!

    Wow can’t believe I didn’t think of this. I walked around the hardware store to see if I can find a very large compass but turns out there’s no such thing. So happy to have come across this video saved me money and time!!! Thank you 🙏🏾

    I was just looking around today on how to draw a 15 1/2" circle when I had no compass. So happy that I found your video first! I used it and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

    thanks dude! after watching 7 video's on how to draw a circle without a compass i've found yours. all the others were basically just showing how to draw free hand, and if i could do that i wouldn't be here!

    I'm going to be doing a model railroad layout and need to do large radius curves...this will work perfectly.

    Thank you for this. This helped me complete a task on current painting -- it was very easy. Much easier than, for example, cutting out a stencil, etc.

    David, this is awesome. I teach a beginning-level sculpture class and I've built several customized large compasses by drilling holes at various common lengths, but this method does away with all of the drilling and the rounding measurements to the nearest hole. Brilliant.

    • @garysetzer4966
      @garysetzer4966 7 років тому

      Plus, when looking for an alternative solution this is the first thing that came up in a Google search, so way to go!

    This video is fairly commonsense and is mis-titled. I was looking for how to make a circle/arc without the use of a compass. This video uses a compass... it's just a homemade one. It should be titled how to make a 'make-shift compass'.

    • @Undoing77
      @Undoing77 7 років тому +1

      Or you could just move on until you find what you need. It's a sixty second video. Roughly how long it took you to type and submit your smug comment, so clearly your time isn't that valuable.

    • @frozenrope2822
      @frozenrope2822 7 років тому

      Steven Knopf, Sorry... did I hurt your feelings by being truthful? Gotta run, my time is too valuable to type anymore. 🏃

      Hey Frozen Rope, I feel the same. Title states without a Trammel then shows how to build a Trammel, confusing but then again he is a little tipsy.
