I was asked to show how I made a fairly simple illusion so I came up with a way to do it with a compass and a very simple formula to get the needed dimensions.
Let me know what you think.

    • Thank you very much James. I had my share of those teachers. I think the worst was my English/social studies teacher in my freshman year of high school. Made me hate English but then my junior year I ended up with the best. And she was known as the hardest. But she was so good it made me love the class. Thanks for the memories and thanks for watching, Gary

Kind of what I like doing with these illusions. Now if I could figure out the days of the week maybe I would have posted my video on Friday instead of today.

It works great for 12 segment rings, but the 60 degree angle will make 6 segment rings just a accurately. Just a tip for anyone on a low budget like me. I really appreciate your tips on how to achieve the 3-d illusion. Also, I will borrow you formula for the length of each piece. Very helpful. I would like to see more of this type video.

    • Thank you very much. I think it might be fooling your eyes as I saw the same issue while making the sketch. I just went over it again and confirmed the pieces are the correct length and go where they should. It is much easier to see if they are colored in. Bottom line is if the pieces are cut right they will only go in one way. Hopefully I made that clear when I showed the pieces being put in place in CAD. I know it looks that way but if you could turn the drawing 180 degrees it looks correct. The whole thing is an optical illusion and even fooled me. Thanks for watching, Gary

  • Gary, Thanks for the inspiration. I am a subscriber and eagerly await your videos each week. This one inspired me to give it a try. I tried to send you a link to a photo, but I guess KZhead doesn't allow that. In my first attempt I cut the pieces out on the CNC machine. I had trouble getting all of the joints closed properly before the glue set up. In my second try, I cut the pieces out on the table saw and found that by gluing up the outer surrounding border first, then adjusting the inner pieces, as necessary, with some sanding, I was able to get a pretty tight fit on all of the joints.

    @tedreece7811@tedreece78118 ай бұрын

    • Thank you very much Ted for taking time to comment. After a few of these you will figure out how to get the glued with all at once on this size. The trick a dry fit and when you know they fit then put glue on but do not rub the joints. Just put them slightly against the other piece. If you rub the joints the glue starts soaking in and sets up. You can find my email under my About Page if you want to send pictures or have other quesions. You can only do it on a PC though not your cell phone. Thanks for watching, Gary

    • Yes the triangles work out to be 1" on all 3 legs. I would suggest doing a dry fit of all the other parts and make sure that is what you end up with. If all the other cuts are right on that is what you will get. Same thing if you decide to frame it in and make it round. Those all worked out for me. Thanks for watching, Gary

    • If you wanted to just rip the pieces to a random width and measured the length of the angle you cut then you could times that by 3 4 and 5 to get the lengths. You loose the control of the diameter by doing that. I was showing how you can control the diameter and then get the sizes of the pieces. But yes it will work. Gary
