[TheForge] Ellipse generator?

[Chris Kilpatrick]

Yes andy,
     But to make the ellipse requested, the height of the triangle needs to be 3.  Your equilateral triangle has a height of 5 3/16" approximately. giving a narrow width of 10 3/8" for the ellipse.

It is I who formed the blacksmith, 
who fans the flame into a fire and
fashions a weapon fit for it's work.
