⚙️ SHOW NOTES:
EPISODE #87 - Circles are nice but sometimes you want to stretch that circle into an ellipse. The ellipse, an oval shape, is an elegant and classic form found in many traditional pieces. In this episode Tom shows an old school way of drawing one by making a router jig that takes all the mystery away. Be warned, it gets addictive...you might be turning out ellipses in your sleep!
