Brake lever

This model is a result of a 2-week modelling course in 2006.

We were learning how to make models in materials such as aluminium, steel, plastics and different kind of foam materials.

The model building was part of a bigger course were we learn how to paint, weld and using the most common machines in an steel or wood workshop.

The Brake lever was done without any real sketches or ideas, i just wanted to make a brake handle for a bicycle mounted hydralic disc brake. The challenge was instead to incorporate every machine in the workshop and see how the materials worked and what kind of finishes you could accomplish with them.
