    Hello Jack. I did some string art when I was about 5 years old in school, I am now about to turn 71. I am really wanting to do some string art but don't have a clue about how to achieve the look I would like. I love the art Deco era and have just decorated my living room in touches of it. It was all about shapes then. Arches and curves but also boxes and lines. I just don't have a clue how to go about this. Can you help. You have been the only tutorial that really caught my eye. Also, well done with that piece as it looks stunning. Shirley from the UK.

    Would it be easier to use the ruler to find the 14th, 21st, 28th, etc nails since each point was a cm apart? I love this video. It helps to draw/paint them also. Although I’m thinking I might like to paint the background and use string art to intensify the shapes. Thanks so much, Jack.

    • @JackWood25
      @JackWood25  Před 2 lety +2

      Yes, it would be much easier to use a ruler to find all the marks. I didn't even think about that until I read your comment. I also really like your idea of painting the background then adding string. That might be one of my future videos! Thanks for your support.

      I’m sorry that you were having trouble with the audio. I really need to get a microphone so when I do, the audio will sound much better. I have some videos that I’m currently editing so I’ll make sure that the audio quality is better than this video.

  • @Dragonited
    @Dragonited Před 8 měsíci

    When I do string art I usually go from one nail at one side to the other side then I loop around the next nail on the same side before I go to the second nail at the first side. By doing it that way you will have more "parallel" lines which enhances the illusion giving it a more 3d effect.

    • @JackWood25

      So sorry to be responding to your question this late but if you're making this project for yourself, the thickness of the thread is up to you. You can decide. If you want the thickness that I used, the thread is roughly .0163" or .414 mm. if you're wondering the number of the thread, I'm not sure what it is but I have a link in the description to the thread that I used for this project.

    • @JackWood25
      @JackWood25  Před 3 lety +2

      Basically what I do is for every centimeter, I add one nail. For example if there are 10 centimeters in a line, I would add 10 nails to that line. I also try to make the wooden board an even number so it’s easier to calculate the number and placement of the nails.

      The plywood is 1/2 inch think or 1.2 centimeters. I then use 1 inch or 2.5 centimeter long nails. Because the nail is twice as long as the plywood, the nail stick out 1/2 inch or 1.2 cm.

    • @JackWood25
      @JackWood25  Před 3 lety +4

      Sorry to be responding so late but I think I figured out a solution for you. In my tutorial, I explained that there are 50 nails, 1 centimeter apart from each other and half a centimeter from the edge, on the top and bottom and 109 nails placed through the diagonal. I know that you want yours a little bigger than what I demonstrated. If I were you, I would keep adding nails on the top and bottom until you're half a centimeter away from the edge. Say I placed 60 nails. On the diagonal, I'll do the same. Add more nails until I reach the end. Say that I have 119 nails on the diagonal. Because I've added 10 nails to the diagonal and on both ends of the sheet of plywood, I would divide that by 2, to get 5, and add 5 more steps or loops to the string. When adding the string, in my demonstration I strung the white string around ten nails but since the board is bigger, I'll loop the string around 15 nails. Of course, this will be different because your board size will be different. Just to recap, count the number of nails that you'll add to the end and the diagonal, divide it by 2, then add that number when adding your string. If this is still confusing, just leave another comment.

      I generally purchase them from Home Depot. Although, I don’t know if this store is in your area. You really only need 1 inch, or 2.5 cm long picture hanging nails. For a pack of 200, it should cost you more than $5.

      After I cut the sheet of plywood, the final dimensions of the board are 19 3/4 inches wide, 39 1/4 inches long, and 1/2 inches thick. Hopes this helps!

      In the video you said 19 1/4 by 39 3/4 but then you say 19 3/4 by 39 1/4. So which one is right?

      Using your video measurements, I got 111 nails in the diagonal. So im assuming dimentions you have written here will give you 109 nails?
