Hi Brian,

Looking good there.

>>>(REALLY need info on the dooing of the second one though!)

I will point you in the right direction:-

If you look at the image in post 9, you will see that it is in 12 sections. So, I first created a plain dish/bowl, I made boolean cuts (with lines) to leave me a 12th of the bowl (30 deg) I then created a curve to boolean off the top rad, then created the pattern in 2d and projected to surface. On the projected surface lines I made pipes, that I then boolean out of the surface, I then made circle array with that section, and boolean them together to make the full bowl. I then made fillet around the top edges.

I hope that helps, if not, I will post some pics with a better explanation.

I have started another bowl, this will have much more etching, I have just got to making a nice pattern on the top edge, but MoI is taking a long time in calculating.


up to now:-
