On the jig, the distance from the pencil to the nearest dowel is one half the minor axis,and the distance from the pencil to the farthest dowel is one half the major axis.

Nice video, however I’d like to you to expound on how you establish your length and width (overall dimensions) of your ellispe. Thanks. Keep ‘em coming.
