  • How to make your own pantograph of different sizes and ratios. You can use a pantograph to enlarge or reduce a drawing or image. It's fun to use and easy to build.

    I needed to refresh my memory on this from many years ago... I'm enlarging the new handicap symbol from computer screen size to 48inch size onto 4x8 sheet of plywood to cut out a stencil...
    Websites show new symbol but offer no engineering spec's to reproduce on to plywood... In high school we used over head projector, old school, but pantograph is even older school..
    Nice video, thank you for bringing back fun and technical memories.

    Thank you, again, for your help!

  • @amarissimus29

    You started by trying to draw a 45°-45° right triangle. Instead of eyeballing the other leg and getting the incorrect hypotenuse length, all that is needed is to multiply 15 by √2. The correct hypotenuse is 21.2132, not 21.375. Of course √(15^2 + 15^2) will give you the same answer. One thing you don't want to do with a pantograph is to eyeball it.

    I'm trying to copy a photo (10" wide) to be traced onto 4 feet long piece of wood. In your video you have yard sticks as the longest length. If my drawing is going to be 4feet, then do I need the lengths at least or than 4 feet?

    • @AlleyPicked

      I don't think so. You should be able to do it in sections.

    • @AlleyPicked
      @AlleyPicked  Před 4 lety

      I have not done it but I believe the anchor point would be in the centre, and you would trace with one end, and draw with the other.

      @AlleyPicked  Před 4 lety +2

      The size of the parts depends on the size of the drawings you want to make. You can make a spall pantograph or a large pantograph. The important part is the ratio.

  • @brianburgess5909
    @brianburgess5909 Před rokem

    On the 3 to 1 pantograph, you said 4 point 8 inches. What is point 8 inches? Why are you combining metric with SAE measurements?

    • @AlleyPicked
      @AlleyPicked  Před rokem +2

      I am not using metric but rather decimal and fractions. Because of the measurements that I was using, the fraction came out to 29/6. 29 divided by 6 is 4.8 inches. That is not metric. For example, if it were 4.5 you would know that is 4 1/2". You would need to convert .8 to a fraction which is approximately 4 13/16
      I know it's confusing but that's math :-)
