How to cut an ellipse

In this video, I show you how to cut an ellipse. I am in the process of making a serving tray from maple and black walnut, and I decided cut it into an elliptical shape. I use three pins and a piece of string so that I can draw the ellipse, and then I cut it out on a band saw and then finish up the edges with a belt sander and some light hand sanding. Here are some of the things I used for this project: System Three T-88 epoxy: https://amzn.to/33Y4XPR Ridgid random orbit sander: https://amzn.to/2Upi0s4 2 1/8" Forstner bit: https://amzn.to/2NXlair Freud 1/4" round over bit: https://amzn.to/2KLtFsG Howard cutting board oil: https://amzn.to/2IAnElX 3M sandpaper: https://amzn.to/2O18zuV Thank you for subscribing to my channel! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c...
