Thank you, alvis.

Thank you, Dave.

Thank you, Tuna.

I had designed some plywood benches who's backs flipped forward to make a table. Had underseat storage too...I should find those files again, maybe update them.

Very nice David.

Congratulations!

Thank you, gentlemen. Here's a quick Shaderlight render; I should probably tweak the settings to try to give more shine to the finish.

Thanks, Hornoxx. I'll post again when I've completed the model.

heller mug by vignelli.jpg
Here's another of her iconic designs: A coffee mug by Heller. Comes in a zillion colors, plus clear plastic or porcelain. Still in production. How many of us have owned one or drunk from one over the years?

Thanks, all.
A lava lamp would be a good addition. I just don't have the patience to animate one in Dynamic Components.

Very good, David. I've been too busy with travel and presentations and such to do much in the way of practice. Glad you posted something.

Thank you, Baz.

Yeah. But the lamp should be stationary and the table should rotate, for a kind of disco ball effect. The piece was designed in the 70s, after all. Rock on.

Simple is good, RobertWan. Thanks for the comment.

👍 look's pretty cool ! I think the "train wreck" comes during glue up of the legs and base 😲

Thank you, Mike.
As I said in my original post, the biggest challenge turned out to be the fluted portions of the legs. Modeling that detail entailed using Hidden Geometry to find a facet of the leg, copying it, and using it as the basis for a Follow Me extrusion for the flute. The problem was working off-axis, which wasn't easy for me. Once I had the flute extrusion, I moved it into the leg, copy/rotated it, and did an Intersect Faces command. Even though I scaled up the leg 1000x, I still wound up with some weird unwanted geometry. Next time, it'll be easier. I created the flutes in the corner blocks using the same procedure.

gotta love it 👍

Back in the mid-60s, no one worried about kids taking a fall. Nowadays, absent a seat belt, you could strap the kid in with duct tape. But please use a tape whose color complements the high chair.

Thanks, everyone. Dave Richards has taught me well: Draw only what you need, then make as many copies as you need. So here, a quarter of the table was all I needed.
