Brett LaCour Week 3 Hammer


While modeling in rhino, I created a simple utility hammer.   The overall form of the hammer is representative of a traditional hammer.  I was a little creative with the way I shaped the head.  Considering I designed it with the intentions of being a utility hammer meaning any one can use it, a wider surface area would help the users accuracy when striking.  The hammer is also stout in order to be stowed away neatly in any setting.  As for materials I chose a rubber for the handle in order to provide a comfortable fit in the users hand.  I chose a light hardwood for the shaft leaning towards more traditional hammers.  Lastly the head is made of aluminum for its lightweight and durable qualities.
