OK - that's a wow from me........

the obvious question from someone who's not made a lid like that is 'how do you get the dimensions of each segment to ensure that you get accurate 360 degrees when put together?' Do you 'just' start with the normal segment angles etc then replace two faces of the triangle with a duplicated arc?

great effect

thanks for the detailed outline as well

Wow.. Amazing WIP. That should be listed in the projects/how-to section as well methinks.

Sorry new forum format has wrecked the above WIP link on my site, and due to the work needed to re-author the Page it may never be reworked.
