    Thank you, tuna and Dave. I don't think a big steam box would do much good, Dave. What I really need is a great big credit with Knoll. The bends in this chair are wicked complicated. Best, dh

    Yeah, Dave, I couldn't help myself. I've long been looking for good views of this chair and other bentwood pieces. And thanks for the good words, tuna.

    @dave r said: The trick is to join both pieces of molding so either the high points or the low points on the edges meet. [attachment=1:x8ufdlau]<!-- ia1 -->Screenshot - 12_5_2017 , 6_43_26 AM.png<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:x8ufdlau] Then miter them. [attachment=0:x8ufdlau]<!-- ia0 -->Screenshot - 12_5_2017 , 6_49_16 AM.png<!-- ia0 -->[/attachment:x8ufdlau] Flip one of the lengths of molding end for end and adjust the position so it looks more like a continuous run of rope. around the corner. The "real" trick is to do it in situ. When a number of inside and outside corners have to match. Get the Douzukinoko saw out! For numerous 1/32 inch cuts to adjust the length.

    Thank you, tuna. And Dave, I couldn't get any of my dogs to sit still long enough to balance on the table.

    In a separate model, you could draw a 2D edge consisting of a stack of rectangles and apply alternating materials to them. Save the result as a 2D graphic export. Then import that image back into your real model as a texture and paint the edges of the plywood with it.

    Thanks for the good words, everyone, and to Mike for the link to info about the Vignellis. They were a interesting couple who created many interesting and beautiful things. This table isn't one of the beautiful things, though. But it did serve one very important purpose: It gave me something to do for a few minutes this afternoon.

    @faust07 said: I would like to touch the loose parts and put them together.... I agree. I'd like to make one of those mostly to put it together. I think I'd stick a screw in from the underside of the table to keep the legs from falling off when it gets picked up. I can imagine getting very frustrated every time I moved it even though I'd know the legs are loose.

    Charlie, For a gate leg table, that's an interesting design with only four legs. As for the carving, I wonder if you might draw it flat as if you unwrapped it from the leg and then use Flowify to wrap it up. I would employ the "Dave Method" so you can run Flowify on a much larger scale. Since you have the table at hand you could get an idea of what the carving looks like flat by wrapping a piece of paper tightly around tand then do a rubbing with a wax crayon. That would also make it easier to get dimensions off the carving. Just a little nit picking on your model: I noticed you've got apron parts inside the leg components. That's not the best structure. [image: 1GyH_Screenshot-11_21_20176_14_15AM.png] [image: HySi_Screenshot-11_21_20176_15_20AM.png] With this arrangement, each discreet part is a component. Having a component nested with loose geometry can create problems for you. For example, if you wanted to create a cutlist from your model, the legs wouldn't appear in the list. By nesting them the way I have in the second image, the leg and the "Short hinge" will both appear. I have a drop leaf table that looks similar to yours although it isn't a gate leg and there's no carving on the legs. My grandparents acquired it in about 1938 and it was about 100 years old then. My father grew up eating at it as did my siblings and I. my son has also grown up eating at that table. It's a curious thing, though. the top and leaves are white oak while the legs and aprons are maple. My grandfather refinished it when he got and it still looks great.

    I haven't thought about the blivit since I stopped reading Mad Magazine every month. Wonder if it could be modeled in SketchUp--not just the edges, but the faces, too. Best, dh
