Thomas Perugini: Week 3 Hammer

This is a stylized hammer with an adjustable weight to change applied force. The red piece is meant to be replaced with different sizes. I wanted to streamline the profile as much as possible to gain a simplistic and elegant design. I got some inspiration from heavy wrenches, as well as subtle Gothic ray gun influences.



The handle is an extruded curve that I drew, which was then filleted and given different shaped holes. Circular holes for the screws, and rows of rectangular curves on each side. The head was also an extruded curve, and given texture on one side similarly to the handle. A curve was extruded again for the nail puller, and a triangular hole was made to taper it. The rubber weight is a cylinder, but with multiple Tauruses subtracted from it.


The handle is made of a rough black plastic. The pin holding the weight and the screws are brushed aluminum, while the head is a roughly textured steel with high reflection. The weight is made of a rough plastic-y rubber. If this were a real hammer the weight would be metal, coated in the rubber.
