I have some rather nice cedar boards and want to make a ring of the boards to surround our hill billy hot tub. My plan is to cut the inside edge to a curve about 1 meter radius, with angles of about 9 degrees on each end so that the pieces fit against the tub and 9 degrees so the fit each other. No…

Have you considered learning to use a Cad program and saving the file as a DXF or 3d final for Easel? This would be a fairly simple task for a program like Rhino or Fusion360, or ?.

Check out Rhino. It is fairly user friendly with toolbars that are fairly intuitive. It’s expensive but well worth it. I bet I’m older than you…LOL.

To draw that, I made 2 circles of 1000 and 1500 mm respectively. I made a planar surface out of them. I cut the surface into 4 quarters. I deleted 3 of them. I extruded the surface 25 mm. This gave me a solid seat. Then I made 9 degree lines and created surfaces along the edges except the…

So you did that using Easel? After I read your first reply got hit with a computer scam so just spent the last couple of hours sorting it out. Not sure how you set the angle on the ends and am going to leave the outer edge straight. Wanna do some programs for me as long as your fee is less than la…

No I did that in Rhino3d, which I have been using since about 2008 or so. If you can send me a sketch, I’ll see what I can do. It’s good for my brain to use it. These are two circular parts with two cut lines done in easel. I guess you can change the depth of cuts to end up with what you wan…

@MartinW.Mcclary Actually I lied won’t be 81 for 2 more weeks.
