Hi Bill,

I had to think a little, but the solution is to use torus. I've posted a
picture to illustrate it. It's quite simple in terms of math. You need to
bevel the corners that are sharp at the moment. By using clipped torus (so
it's only 1/4 torus) the corners will be bevelled to fit the inversed
cylinders.

After doing this, you will probably need 3 more cylinders to .. eeh how can
I explain it.. oh, you will easily see and fix that little problem.. oh it's
difficult to explain with words.  ;o)

Regards,
Hugo
