I have had others tell me that. I used 3 nails cuz i read it in an old book, and that was their method. If two work, NICE!!! I can use the third one to clean out the spinach out of my teeth:-)

@psychodelicdragon

thanks. it's an old method

Don't use yarn. It's far to stretchy. Also the third nail is used to tension the string. Without it you would not have any slack for the oval.

BigChopperoo, why do you need to put the string in the 3 nails 'cuz you can just put it on the 2 nails? sorry for the question.

You actually dont need the first nail.

Thats not cheesy, thats a pretty good tip for someone not in the field every day

Wait, what? This is so cheesy. And fake.

Great tip, this is going to help me make my first million.

is the 3rd nail really that necessary? or could you just use the 2 for the length

Thank You! This is wonderful. I am making a door sign and this method will allow me to make a professional grade oval for my welcome signs. I am throwing away the free hand oval I made. GREAT! Just great!
