        Here is a quick video that shows how you could do it. Note that I am testing some things and when they don't work how I want, I hit ctrl-z for undo quite a few times. So when geometry quickly re-appears on the screen, that is why.

        Also, your geometry was different on each end of the object. So it was a little trickier than necessary (hence all the undos). Anyhow, hope it helps,

        Lately you've been tan, suspicious for the winter.

          Try this tutorial, but Chris's answer is probably better

              Hi Barrington, hi folks.

              Or try this one if the object has some symmetry.
