Lovely work! Bravo.

Thank you all!

Ah.... Very good.

Thank you, Liam I will give that a shot. From perusing the site, I've not seen many requests for furniture as old as what I'm asking. But who knows. Chris

Thank's all. I stumbled across this while I was researching something else, and was fascinated by the history of the desks.

Thanks all. @davidheim1 said: How did you model the bamboo lashings? Best, dh Each lashing was made using three planes and intersecting them with the stretchers offsetting the center one and then using loft by spline. I had originally used helix along curve but didn't like the look.

@davidheim1 said: like your Transformer Pencil. I wish I could but I gave all of them to my grandsons for Christmas. Actually, I'm more a fan of rOtring. But thank you! Chris

Thanks again Dave. You've been a great help! Just in case you are curious. As to how the actual project turned out. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mw2mdlwzvdwj4s1/Hidden%20Door%202.mp4?dl=0 Now I need to finish my "Owners Manual". Chris Oh, and I'm glad I ended up in the "right" room!

"It illustrates exactly the problem I was having. Running wiring around things, trying to have it hug the paths as closely as possible, and not through them." That's the part that takes a lot of trial and error and time. 3SKeng looks interesting and would work for straight lines runs, don't know if it will work for complicated multi line wiring.

@rv1974 said: because it's logical to refine one fragment (with intersected element) make it a component and only then array it X600, isn't it? You are probably correct, but it did finally work. I will keep that advice in mind for next time, however! Thanks Chris

Thanks for the example Box, It never occurred to me to bend the bottom twice! Because I sure would have! Oh well, I learned about "Smart Drop" anyaway! Chris

Good job. Looks fine!

nice idea Shep

$50 an hour for changes or a number that makes me feel good about the totality of work.

Thank you Box.

Thanks all, Rich and Alan, I'm back in! Chris
