      Small swing arm desk lamp.

      Push Pull is giving me some serious grief. It either won't move the face or it moves too far and I have to use scale to size it to where I want.

      Anyway, WIP just to get back into the flow of things.

        Ah, Figured it out. The Joint Push Pull suite has superseded the stock Push Pull. Works perfect in Joint Push Pull Normal.

                    Thanks. I skipped a lot of steps but as most of it is simple cylinders, I didn't think each individual step was necessary.

                      Thanks. This is mostly a project to get 2015 set up and running. This is the first time I've used 2015 to make a model, so I needed to tweek and configure the preferences and learn where some of the setting controls moved to.

                      You would not believe how long I struggled with the new arc tools. πŸ’š

                            Not much to look at, but here is the lamp shade.

                                The little thin support rods for the shade were a pain. Who knew?

                                Next will be color and then final renders.

                                    Oops. Had the base scaled too big.
