          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.
