Hi Mik,

Could you please explain how you created this surface?

Hi Stragazer,

I've used Network command together with set of curves.
Hope this helps.

Hi Mik,
Thank you for the detailed explanation. I appreciate it.

Hi Mik,

great job! and great explanation.love what you did in the complex curve area.

Hi neilwilson3412,

thank you very much for your kind words.

I wasn't sure from attached photo, if front surface of mixer is flat or curved, but it seems from another photo https://www.sinkwarehouse.com.au/products/fiona-basin-mixer-black/, that surface is flat, therefore i decided to use that procedure, only as an exercise, but it exists more than one solution of course.

I like the Ed's attempt.
Ciao
Mik

"... but it seems from another photo https://www.sinkwarehouse.com.au/products/fiona-basin-mixer-black/, that surface is flat"

That's a much better photo and line drawing. On the original silver photo I was seeing slight curvatures, which made the front face more complex to model.
