Vacuum Cleaner

The vacuum was mocked up in cardboard to check the size before being carved into polyurethane foam.

The hinge was created by carving the pieces to fit together and then drilling a hole into the top and bottom parts. A brass tube was then inserted to connect the two pieces.
The bottom vacuum piece was vacuformed over so a light could be installed through the bottom.

The handle was made with propoxy sculpted over a brass tube.
