| | | A radius
Picture a chair back(bench) 50" wide,25" high(right now its square)
I would like to build a radius approx. 2-3' drop on each end,using the full height in the center.
any ideas how I can make a flowing curve like this?

| The amount of inches for the drop really isn't going to be enough to enable making much of a curve. I would suggest dropping the ends of the sides a couple more inches, measure down in marked gradients from the center to create the curves, and then rounding out the point in the top of the middle of the back to help to give the appearance of a curve. |

| Okay. Sounds good! Are you artistically inclined? | |

| My suggestion would be to create a new folder on your desktop where you could put your image files that you might want to post here so that they are easy to find. Then I would suggest just right clicking on the images in your Yahoo email account, "Save Picture As" and save them into the new folder that you have created.
You should then be able to open the images that are then on your computer with Picassa and size and save them according to how large image files of various types can be to be posted on this site. | |
