How to draw an oval!
What happens here
Take a piece of string and wrap it tightly around the three hammered nails, creating a closed loop. Tie the string securely so it maintains its tension. After tying the loop, carefully pull out the nail that was at the top end of the 8-inch vertical line, leaving two nails (at the horizontal endpoints) and the string loop. As a helpful tip, the creator recommends putting a small notch in the tip of your pencil. This notch will allow the string to rest securely in the pencil while drawing, preventing it from slipping.
Goal: Create the flexible drawing tool for the oval.
