huh, Idiot, I ment to to a union...  Bummbr, I have since changed my
design to this:

	#local Outer = difference
	{
		intersection
		{
			sphere {<0, 0, 0>, 8.3}
			box {<0,-3,-1>,<10,3,5>}
		}
		sphere {<0, 0, 0>, 6.3}
	}
	difference
	{
		object {Outer}
		difference
		{
			intersection
			{
				sphere {<0, 0, 0>, 8.2}
				box {<0,-2.9,-1.5>,<10,2.9,5>}
			}
			sphere {<0, 0, 0>, 6.4}
		}
	}
