I've been playing with this stuff for some bookcase base molding and was challenged by the "S" symmetry of the design. I like geometry and trigonometry so rather then free-hand it I thought about it mathematically.

Here's what may work for me and you folks in the layout:

Scribe two adjacent circles on a layout line with the same diameter for each. Both circles should just meet one another on that line. Mark circle "A" at 12:00 and circle "B" at 6:00. Connect the dots and erase the other stuff and you'll have a pretty uniform S curve. I'm gonna try mine using a router template from MDF. :dontknow:

I would just trace a couple o paint cans!:rotflm:

+1 'cept I tend to use wood filler cans, little Dixie cups or electrical tape rolls for the smaller diameter.
I'm sure the Halls didn't get technical either. Of course they had the Greene's measure drawings to go by :eusa_thin
