  • OVALLLL???? maybe ellipse....

  • @chrisSsecret yea. your right.  I guess I default to words I used as a kid:)

  • where do you buy your tools from for drawing.

    That acu-arc thing is very bad ass by the way.

  • I used to buy my supplies at Charrette online. Regrettably I don't think their around any more. You might try Dick Blick.

  • Doug,

    On French curves, does it tell you any radii your using?

    Like the videos, you remind me of myself, glad to see the borco still being used!

    I too am a Architect and own a residential design firm in the twin cities.

  • there's no information regarding the curve radii on my french curves nor have I ever seen any. I would imagine that because it's such a dense combination of true curves in such a small location it would be close to impossible:) All the best!

  • This guys voice reminds me of American Psycho..

  • I like your sence of humour.

  • Your both funny and informational xD lol

  • Oh my god, I must now where you got that spring loaded acuarc! I have so many trees that need chopping down, and then I could draw some nice curves on the side

  • good video

    

  • Hello sir, If you have extra time, could you please make a tutorial on how to use that Acu-arc adjustable ruler that you showed? The one "to cut trees". I got one today, but I understand the calibrations thing.

    Thanks in advance! Great videos! You inspire me to become an architect, and I learn from you how to express more appropriately about buildings.

  • haha nice joke

  • The tree chopping part was really funny lol

  • Could you post a vid on how to use the French curves? The radii flow smoothly into one another and it's quite hard for me to envision how they are used in practice (and what they are best for).
