The people in this group are so helpful I can hardly stand
it.  So, before I start, thanks!

I'm trying to make something like this:

I tried to make a sphere and cut it with toroids... I got
this and this:

It's rough, obviously, but clearly isn't the shape I was
going for. :) In fact, CSG may be the wrong approach
entirely.  Though, I have made some complicated things with
CSG:

What I can't figure is how to do those little ridges on the
20F_foot.

1) Any suggestions to get to my 20F_foot welcome --
especially CSG methods?

2) What mesh editors are popular for this sort of thing?  I
got both wings3d and pygmalion working, but I don't appear
to be any good at all with 3d (totally incompetant actually)
modeling UIs.
