Dude. I’m a finish carpenter and the only reason I’m here is because I forgot the method of determining layout dimensions. Without that it’s just a cute KZitem trick. Thanks.

I knew this method in 1988 when I started my first year engineering. Same explanation was given in the book by Thomas Finney (calculus and analytic geometry).

Thanks for a great video. I think you can calculate the distance from the centre to each nail (c) to give you the dimensions you want, using the formula c^2 = a^2 − b^2, where a is the distance from the centre to the vertex (pointy end), and b is the distance from the centre to the co-vertex (side).

@@smudger304 No worries. It just means "squared" but I couldn't figure out how to write the little 2 above the a, b and c. It's the Pythagoras formula " a squared plus b squared equals c squared"!

Great, as long as the dimensions don't matter 🤷 How do you use this method for a specific height and width?
@adamcherry1117

You can easily calculate the with the rope to how wide you want it, and you can calculate using pythagoras the height u need,

Wow I’m interested in your string tool. Can you adjust the loop size like a lasso? I would like a flexible string tool like this to draw curves on paper and construct a logo design

Why does that special string have a washer and nail tied to it? Looks like a neck string I made as a kid. We had little trinkets hanging from our necks for some reason I cannot recall. Anyway.... thanks.
