Inspired by Helaman Ferguson's [Four canoes](https://helasculpt.com/gallery/?album=3&gallery=44&v=ba43077c0ac9l). Two tori can be joined and then rotated inside each other.
I modified the design so it could be printed without support. It also has a much tighter fit than Helaman's sculpture (you can tell by the angle the tori lie in each other), but I'm not working with granite!
My printer seems to max out at an overhang of 75 degrees, so the bottom of the torus is flattened for a base and the inner part of the torus is tapered, both at 75 degrees.
