        Ok, here's another one to drive you mad.
        How do you make a hollow torus from a spiral that is one continuous solid sausage.

          All I can say is WOW! πŸ‘ πŸ‘

          That one will really take some studying and a WHOLE LOT of practice.

              😲 😲 how is it possible to think that before even?!?? - even before you start thinking about the necessary tools for the imagined ?! 😲 I love this spiral thing !!!! πŸ˜„
              again so much more than the cool model idea itself πŸ‘ πŸ‘

                Good. And hopefully you recognise that this thread is not meant to be a one on one tutorial.
                What I think it is, is Box putting his slightly insane sketchup imagination out there.
                And you are bogging him down.

                But. About your questions...How about a new post.EG: 'Boxions No1'?

                I"ll follow...

                not a trump fan. xx

                  SORRY!

                  Maybe someone can remove my posts or move them to a discussion thread.

                  Perhaps we could get Box to add a tip numer or name to each and then we could have a discussion thread for exact of the tip names/numbers. If that is done, maybe a monitor can move my posts/questions to the appropriate thread.

                    Just repost the gif as a post and give it a name...'How does this Box gif work' would do it...

                      Good point Baz but how do we clean up the junk I created in this thread so we get it back to the way it should be?

                        It's not that important really, I don't think there are that many people interested in the thread.

                          2000+ views, but I wonder how many are following? No way to see that info from this side I presume.

                            I’m definitely following this thread and intend to go back and try to recreate the lessons in each gif. I didn’t find the questions and comments distracting, as some of the questions were ones I had myself!

                              I haven't recorded any interesting gifs lately but I did continue to doodle with Truebend.
                              So here's a render of a couple of crazy ceramic fruitbowls. Created using a version of the method shown above.

                                  Here's a simple one, just demoing the basics of building a shape as a solid. No detail in the teeth or accurate dimensions but it was done to show the process.

                                      Sorry, not a tip or trick as such, but an experiment in mostly SUbD and Clothworks for making chain mail.

                                            One of them is a shoulder. But you guys can look at things your own way.
