Trowel Model

For the spade of the trowel I created a long, flat cuboid and used 'Subdiv Proxy' again to edit it into the correct shape, but this time I inserted more edge loops as well as adding more sub-divides to the proxy box to help me edit its vertex. Overall I think the result was much better this time, as I was able to get the middle to dip and the edge to curve upwards, and well and make the tip of the trowel into a point. The twisted chord through the handle was made in the same way as the springs/coils I made previously, except I scaled the circle down much smaller and rotated the extruded surface a lot more to get the tightly twisted rope effect. I then just adjusted the vertex of the original line path to get the correct shape and created two small torus' for to tie the cord together that the top.
