- How To Mark Spiral, Parallel, and Perpendicular Lines on Pipe or Cylinders
I go over a few of the methods that I use to accurately mark on pipe, conduit, tubing, or anything cylindrical. There may be other methods for the same tasks, but these are quick and effective. I hope it helps you on your next cylindrical project.
Thanks for watching!

Installing a water butt on my drainpipe, this was exactly what I needed to help me mark the cutting lines, thanks!
Nice!
Thanks for the tip on how to draw a straight line for tubing!
You bet, happy to help.
excellent! I'm sure this will come in handy down the road. Thanks!
You bet David! Thanks for watching.
A bunch of super useful & simple tips. No fluff, Max utility - LOVE IT!
Thanks!
Excellent. Been using the first 2 for 40 years. For a spiral I used long & circumferential & sketched a line between intersections. Your way is MUCH much better. Thanks for taking the time to show me that method.
You bet! I've used the other method too. Mostly when drafting. Both methods are good to know. Thanks for watching!
Brilliant ! simple, effective. Many thanks - appreciated.
You're welcome!
Hey, thanks for great tips! Need to cut a lot of dowel rods for a project, this video gave me all the information on how to mark those!
Great to hear!
Wow, this threw me back to your spiral lamp video. So cool! Been such a long time though...
It sure has been. Thanks for sticking around for so long!
its so great to see you back at it Justin!!! thanks for the info brother :)
Thanks Jedidiah!
I am good in mathematic but never knew this way. Thank you so much.
You are most welcome.
Eggzactly what I needed !!!!
Awesome, Thanks so much for your time and sharing !!!
Best Regards!!
Glad it helped!
very useful tips! tks a lot! greetings from Brazil!
Glad it was helpful!
OMG you saved me a hell of a lot of work
Nice!
Excellent, very clever 👍👍
Many thanks!
what a great idea of using a simple paper to draw the circular lines.. very cool.
Yeah, when I figured it out I was pretty pleased. Thanks for watching!
Excellent, to the point clip! Thank you sir I will now subscribe.
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for the tips
No problem!
This helped me a lot. Thank you
You're welcome!
Awesome tricks!!!
Thanks!
I'm both so incredibly impressed at the simplicity and frustrated that i would have never figured that out on my own. Thank you ever so much for making me a little smarter today
You bet! Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Now I know how to make my candy cane Christmas props and keep them EVEN. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Glad I could help!
ended up here because i'm carving a hardwood handle for my wood chisel. funny thing is, i've already made one.... this is my second. so you can imagine how the first one went.... hahaha. it turned out perfectly, it was just hard marking where to cut on it. thankss
That's great to hear! I'm glad my video helped.
Excellent!
Thanks!
Hmmm this is very interesting. Thanks for sharing.
You bet Dan. Not much of a video but I'm trying to keep on going.
Thank you for sharing this, couldn't figure out how to make a spiral :P
Glad I could help!
Nice tips on the Perpendicular Lines, i knew there'd be a video on this. Will do it this way... not the way i was planning on doing it, lol!
Glad it was helpful!
you saved my times.
Nice!
thank you so much for this video! im making something with candy cane stripes and this is going to help immensely
Wonderful!
I need to keep this in my mind file.
Or just remember that this video is always here for reference 😜
Proper job, thanks. I'm guessing it's easier to make distance markings on the paper too before putting it on the tube, if you need them; than making the line and then trying to measure distances along that line.
Yeah, it can be.
This will be so useful, I’m always trying to get square cuts on plumbing/drainage/guttering, such a simple solution
Glad it helped!
Really really helpful like simple stuff the could take a lot more effort try’s to figure out well done.
Thanks!
FIRST!!!
But how!?!? Every time......
Nice
Lol.... Also, I didn't have a headache before I started watching this. I sure you did a great job explaining this magic but I become a complete moron when it comes to geology. I've got go grab some Tylenol...
Thanks for the tips. What is your suggestion for large pipes. A pipe with the the diameter of 800 mm for instance?
I've never had to do it. But I would try to find a larger piece of paper and follow the same steps.
I’m just imagining how big of a piece of paper it took to paint the spiral on the Cape Hatteras, NC lighthouse! Ha! Seriously, that’s a subject I’ve wondered how they did for years! And it’s tapered, not parallel sides! On another note, welding supply stores sell “Wrap Arounds”, which is a rolled up 4 inch x long price of cardstock like material, heat resistant of course, that welders use to layout cuts on pipe similar to your paper method. Kind of like the framing square of the pipe welding world, it has markings on it to layout angles (other than just 90 degrees) and saddles etc. Very good vid!
A huge tapered spiral like the would be a go candidate for parallel line development. Old school, but effective. You could draw a scaled representation and then plot the spiral on the building.
That wrapping layout tool sounds fantastic!
@@Makebuildmodify they’re not expensive either!
@@tomt9543 Nice!
Great video. How does one draw a perpendicular line on the inside of a pipe? That would be mighty helpful. Thanks
Good question. I've never had the need to do so.
For the double length spiral wouldnt taping the end of the triangle and then the straight egde work as well? Same principle but wont have to do the 2nd cut, start the spiral then untape the straight edge, finish the spiral w the point taped down
Also using the speed square would work for the perpendicular lines. Set the speed square on the top side and use a notch/ inner line and roll the tube
If you use the tip of the triangle first it will still overlap itself. (I just tested it)
That might work, but you would have to keep the tube from shifting laterally while you rolled it. Tough to do, but not impossible.
Very helpful. I need an uber straight perpendicular line on a PVC pipe with uneven ends that's 9 inches in diameter. Any ideas? Just tape a couple of 8½ X 11 inch paper together & use the same method as shown? 🤔
Maybe use some poster board or a large piece of art paper. Any square and flexible sheet stock will work.
@@Makebuildmodify Good idea. Thanks!
Butcher paper, take it from the smoker stock 😁
Curious why one would want to make a spiral?
I used this spiral method on this lamp project. ruclips.net/video/CZYgMgfDj7o/видео.html
For me, I'm making candy cane Christmas props for my display.
@@wjf213 I hope this helped.
No one will mess up with you
;)
Things that make you say "DOH!!"
:)
I watched the first 17 seconds and already felt stupid for not thinking of this bcs I'm a sheetmetal worker and do these things daily😂
Yeah, rollout patterns are very common in sheet metal layouts. If you want see some awesome stuff get a copy of Audels Sheet Metal Pattern Layouts. There cheap on eBay if you take you time to find a good copy. Here's one: www.ebay.com/itm/314555152795
Well I'll be damned, that was impossible made simple
Sometimes there's an easy way to do it. Thanks for watching!
