How can a carpenter draw an ellipse according to its size? Charts are the best.

First, find a rope and fix its two ends on two nails. The length of the rope is the length of the ellipse you want to draw. Then draw a crosshair where you want to draw an ellipse, determine the length and height of the ellipse, use it as a fixed point of a high point, and pull half the length of your rope along the crosshair. There are two fixed points at the intersection of the crosshair. Finally, fix the rope at these two points and start painting.

In mathematics, an ellipse is a trajectory in which the sum of the distances between two fixed points on a plane is the same constant.

Woodworking is a craft, a unique technology and a common technology in architecture. It is one of the three traditional industries in China (namely, carpentry, wood industry and carpentry). It is said that when building a house in ancient times, a carpenter must be invited to ward off evil spirits on the day when the house is built and capped!
