Kaerlighedsbamsen commented 2 days ago These lines signals a person being chill and easy - but also elegant at the same time Btw do you have a user scenario for this chair? often easier to design with that in mind
Thanks, Ty. Sometimes I wonder if I'm putting too much mental energy into design for the base of what is a tongue-in-cheek chair. But, I'm enjoying the process, which is the main thing. My daughter has claimed this chair for her balcony, and she just wants to know when it will be done. 😁
I use that angle calculator a lot, about the easiest one that makes sense to use from the illustrations.
Fine design eye you have for considering all the stresses on a chair, gonna be cool to see your final work Ross!
Thanks, Splinter. I don't know if I'm right about the stresses, but at least I'm thinking about them.
Ron Stewart commented 2 days ago That’s looking great, Ross. The splayed legs and organic leg shape are so visually interesting. There are no boring chairs at the Leidy residence; that’s for sure.
I definitely see the open ray mouth, particularly given the raised ridge in the seat surface. All you need now is those paddle-shaped appendages (which I now know are called cephalic lobes or fins) on either side to complete the illusion. Of course, they’d have to be mounted with ball joints to make sitting on the chairs an interactive experience. 😀
That online calculator looks very useful.
Thanks, Ron. I'm really getting anxious to start the edge shaping on the parts. With the hard edges gone, it really will be all curves. I think I'll forego the lobes. Don't want to be too literal! 😄
