[quote:Anonymous Coward 499665:MV82MDI3NjBfOTIxMDUxMl8zNzI3MjE5Rg==] [quote:emerald_glow] all it takes is a little surveying skill, and some time...they all are based on arcs and lines....to make a circle, one fastens the post in the center, pays out the rope to a predetermined length, and using it (the rope) as a limit of distance(pulling it taut)crushes the grain down using the board, until the point of origin is returned to....by using a compass on the post, one can then lay out where to start and stop the interior details....by having the rope marked for length, and determining the angle, a little geometry is all thats needed to form those patterns....just because you are too lazy to do such things, doesnt make it impossible, by any stretch of the imagination....of course, it's even easier with a transit,and a theodolite...probably civil engineering students......any more assininine questions?
