I was doodling around trying to learn how to use SketchUp and this fell out. :oops:

It's based on a leg that Philip C. Lowe is doing in the Video Workshop series on FineWoodworking.com.

Would anyone find a tutorial on drawing this thing of interest?
 
Wow. That would be quite a bit of editing.
Hmm, several bits of 'lathe' work. A moderately complex profile and extrude it and scale one end? Maybe not as bad as I first thought. How long before someone writes a SheratonLegPlugin :)
 
Don, I figured you could do the Hilton leg tutorial. :wave:

Tim. You gave away my secret. Of course it's just a plugin that generates the whole thing. It'll draw any leg. Enter the style, the year and Bob's yer uncle.

Oops. April 1st isn't for a few weeks yet, is it. :rofl:

Actually, it isn't very difficult at all. I'm working on a tutorial.
