Curved beer glass handle possible???

[Dave R]

Since no one else has chimed in, maybe this idea will get you started.

Draw a center line for the handle.
Add sections--I used Chris Fullmer's Perpendicular Face Tools from the EW.
Use Curviloft.

Clearly my handle isn't smooth enough but more segments in the centerline and maybe a few more profiles would improve it. Work at a much larger scale to avoid creation of holes. due to tiny faces.

I'm doing so

And make sure to correct the face orientation.

Nah, it's an antihandle. Just don't put it anywhere near a handle, or they'll annihilate eachother

That would explain why none of my beer glasses have handles.
