Sonetpro,

Really nice profile. It's very retro, reminds me of a wing cross section.

Good job. :thumbsup:

I like the way the front curve meets the floor. No need to curve everything, eh?

Thanks guys, I wanted the perfect elipse. Thanks to Andrew for his site to help me figure out how to draw it. I used his method but instead of nails I bought these tiny pulleys from the hardware store. I ground the rivets off and had the perfect wheels for 16 ga wire, then just screwed them to the pivot points.

The easiest way to avoid plan changes. Don't make any, make it up as you go. That way it is never wrong.
If a man is alone in the woods and say something and no woman is around to hear him, is he still wrong?
