      Many tricky things there! 😎

        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.
