You know, what might work is if you make a curve in the bottom rail
members of the table. that would allow you to keep the curves on the
chair and tie the designs together.

I liked that idea, so I got my tools and went to work:

Is that what you were thinking?

I approve also. It is a subtle touch, but it goes together. It works.

What I wanna know robatoy, is how you build these tables and chairs SO
FAST?!?!

Did you see the teeth on that saw? That sucker cuts real quick!

In terms of modelling, it helps if you do it often. After a while, the
metaphor between real construction and 'building' a model becomes quite
natural, assuming your software allows that way of thinking, and most
don't. I have 3D level AutoCAD certification from the local college and
thoroughly despise the program/software. There is nothing 'natural'
about it. I don't use it.
I use MiniCAD (now called Vectorworks) and Strata 3D. For proper, to
scale, dimensioned drawings, I use Vectorworks. All on a Mac, but all
that stuff runs on Billyware as well.
Yet, a neighbour of mine has been using AutoCAD since screens were
green, and finds it the most intuitive software there is.
a) he uses it every day.
b) he stays in shape.
c) poor guy doesn't know any better. NOMEX suit =ON
