Tricky Loft Problem

I am struggling to create the loft I'd like in the enclosed model. I am trying to loft the front legs (both left and right) into the respective adjacent drawer fronts. I'd like the transition to start 50mm to the left of the right side of the left desk leg into the profile at the left face of the left drawer front (and the same on the other side). Nothing I seem to do has worked. The shape is a smooth scalloped transition between the two a bit like the photo in the enclosed link. If anyone is good with lofts and fancies giving it a go I'd appreciate it.

This is a follow up on some help a few months ago and yes I know the model is a mess...

I would not consider that model to b a mess. However, you model=ed too far down the road.

In the thread, you mentioned I suggested a surfacing workflow but you seemed to be happy with circular fillets and solid modeling workflow.

I will suggest the same again as there! I might have some time this weekend to show what I mean.

2 observations:

 

Lofting from around to a sharp-edged profile is with the intention of filleting the sharp edge is not a good idea. It works but creates bad geometry.

 

You are filleting way too early in your design process.
