How do you draw a oval?
Use a Pencil, a string, and 2 nails (or tacks). Mount the 2 nails(or tacks) on a drawing surface. Tie a string into a loop such that it will go around the 2 nails with plenty of extra slack. Lay the string so it encircles the 2 nails. Using your pencil, place it inside the string and pull it one direction so the string loop forms a triangle between 1 nail, the other nail and the pencil point. Now move the string around the nails while keeping the string pulled tight. The pencil will trace an Ellipitcal oval shape.
