If you are happy with the shape, you are done. Look at it for a while an consider possible adjustments. My eye tells me to move in the left side lower half in a bit.

Ok, will do.
Thanks.
That's why I needed some fresh eyes- I wasn't happy with the way it is.
And I trust your eye, you produce some excellent shapes!

Fresh off the dremel app miket

Beat me to it, that inside curve on the right is a good idea, I think it will still need a touchup elsewhere but it's getting close.

Thanks, I'll see what I can do with it!

I would bet a dollar to a donut that if you had been working on cab machine instead of a Dremel, the question would not have come up. You would have just gone to the side that offended your eye and rectified the shape in a few seconds. Its amazing how things can be saved, or ruined and re-shaped very quickly in this game. You are doing fine and doing it the hard way.

Thank you sir, I appreciate the kind words!
I'm guessing you're right- I've been able to save, ruin and reshape the way I'm doing it but it sure does take a bit of work.
I'll get this one, too. (box)

You'll get it how you want, I have no doubt. Sometimes tracing the shape on graph paper helps to see where you need to do some fixing.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

So, apparently this one wanted to be an oval.
I had the perfect shape I wanted and the entire tip snapped off and hit the floor.
An out-of-character word went out into the universe.
I lost quite a bit of the black plumes that I liked in the stone but I think I saved it.
So off to the tumbler it goes...
