The wonderful ‘Magic Formula’ for calculation shaping

This really is magic! If you think you can’t do the maths to work out your own shaping calculations – you are wrong. Watch this video, take a few notes and practise the method on an imaginary shaping – it will work. Do it a few times and you will get the hang of it so it comes naturally to you. For some reason the first second is blank, be patient and it will play OK.
