Marcelo Torres: Week 3 Hammer

For this design, I wanted to create a hammer design that was comfortable to use, durable, and good looking. For a good grip and durability, I gave it a rubber handle with circular indents around it. I also added an ellipsoid shape at the end which is bigger than the handle, as a safety measure to avoid it from slipping off the hand. For aesthetics, I added a wooden design with a thin aluminum border, and also made the indents of the grip the same aluminum color.
For modeling this hammer, I used revolve for the handle and the cylindrical metal part. I also used project, pipe, booleans, loft and fillet.
I made the hammering part out of steel because it is durable and strong. This material also helps with the lighting on the keyshot rendering because of its reflective properties.
