Hi all
I need to check and double-check a set of drawings done for friends who may right now have a S14 secondary console room materializing in their house. Yes, as I type. So I'm on the clock.
The short ver- I've got a good go at the bannisters, but of course, it's all extrapolated from about 6-8 decent photos, and I haven't 100% bought into my work. The main issue is in trying to work out if the arcs/curves that make up the 'up and over' for the bannister/handrail are idealized shapes, probably then cut on a flat and then shaped as a shipbuilder might. Anyone know the precise numbers associated with them? Would probably be as radii or such.
I should also look into how long a run, if any, the handrails have as 'flat' lengths so that the finials are sitting as upright as they can towards the ends.
The length and width need to be slightly shortened from on-set build dims (they haven't quite got that much room). If I can make out the intent and the original dims, then I can work from there. Yes I've seen TF's drawings, which are fantastic, but they don't touch on the bannisters with specifics.
I've done a number of forum searches to see if this has been talked over, and I've yet to find a thread or link.
Any hints? Thanks. (oh, I do think this might also belong in the Workshop threads inst of here, a bit rough to sort out as it's not ref or plans, but asking for such. If so, can I move a Thread or does that have to be taken on by someone else?)
