Need to make a curve on top of a shape not a dome

Post by wilsonedw »

I am trying to make a guitar tuning peg and the specific one that I want is an oval with a curve going along the long axis of the peg. Can this be done, everything that I come up with has me making a dome shape.

A sketch would help, or a pic of the tuning peg you are trying to create.

Essentially you will need to work with vectors to describe the shape.

Have you given up?

I have an idea, but my idea the other pegs might get block the peg you are trying to tune.

A sketch or photo will get me doing more.
