The tool turns out to be an old pipe wrench which was used for plumbing. This is not just a rusty tool found in a basement. It is the bond between my dad and my great grandpa. My dad was telling me how my great grandpa and him used to work and fix things together. He taught my dad how to use all of these tools, my dad was saying it was funny that as the years went on, it was then my dad teaching my great grandpa how to use all the new tools that had come out as. This tool loosens and tightens pipes and pipe bolts. I did know my great grandpa which in itself is a cool thing because not a lot of people can say that they meet their great grandparents. After learning more about this object, I picked it and it became more interesting to me for many reasons, one being it so easily brought up old stories for my dad when I should it to him, and it had sentimental value not just to my dad but now me. To capture the preciseness of the main part of the tool, I am going to portray it in a contour sort of way, to show the uniqueness of the tool. For the handle of the tool, I made it to be a little more fun and made that half more gestural. To make the handle more gestural is to portray that the holder of the tool looks at it differently from person to person, whether that just be as a tool or as sentimental family treasure. |
