Sampler
This is a piece I'm really proud of--even though it's not pretty, or something I can sell. For a while now, I've been working on these tube pieces, and gradually finding what works and what doesn't. The trouble is, I often try various ways to, for example, make a smooth curve, till I get what I want. But some of the ones I didn't want might be a structure that's useful for something else--except that I've torn it out and after a while I can't remember how I did it. So this is a sort of sampler. In it I have several ways to make a 60, 120, and (most importantly) 90 degree turn. The hardest was to make a corner, like you'd have if you were making an open cube. The inside curve was easy, the the outside curve would either have a big knob on it, or be too flat and pull the inside out of its 90 degree-ness. Anyway, I learned an enormous amount, and have generated lots of ideas for future pieces.

it may not be "pretty" but it is filled with wisdom. What more can you ask for!
