      Fredoscale has the ability to change the plane that is used for scaling, allowing you to control the -1 scale of off axis objects, making for an easy mirror tool.

            And yes I have acknowledged Kito and posted links to his videos many times when I have shown these techniques elsewhere. Probably even earlier in this thread.

                  A bit of an exercise getting my hands working together again after an injury. Several very obvious errors included.

                    I had no idea where that was headed until the very end. Some excellent inferencing tips in there πŸ‘

                    Hope the hands recover too!

                      Cheers Rich, I'm sure the hands will get there in the end, just so long as I keep the mind working.
                      Making knots is always a good brainteaser.

                                    Yeah, there's one tip in there I hadn't thought of using in this way before.

                                      I produced this for another thread and have since removed it.
                                      I'll pop it in here for the benefit of others.

                                      Using weld to help scale a shape into an ellipse while retaining a circle.

                                            There is a well know method of making a helix with only native tools that I have shown before.
                                            This is similar but gives you a solid object to work with. You can array it, Linear or Radial for very different results. It's difficult to fit this into the forum limit so it's a bit cut off.
