David Rake - Hammer - Week 4




Concept:
I aimed for a more form fitting hammer that's a lower profile. In reality its probably inefficient for the common task at hand. A small notch was added to the back to help when applying thumb pressure.


Techniques:
 I heavily relied on building the hammer first in curves and now, after getting a better grasp of curves, prefer them to primitives. Only two difference booleans were used one on the head and one at the base of the handle. The metal head could use some extension because it appears that hands would hit the material before the head.


Materials:
Instead of going for wood or metal for the majority of the object a lime green and yellow plastic were chosen. This was to extenuate the curve and give a less serious tone to it. It appears as more toy/novelty than serious equipment.
