Brass Gavel

This is a brass gavel I machined in high school on a manual lathe and mill. It features a knurled handle that screws into the counterbored head for a clean connection. Design credit goes to Terry Coss of Newberg High School.

I made the following video just for fun. In this video I measure and sketch the brass gavel and then model and assemble it in SolidWorks. I do not recommend actually modeling the knurled surface in SolidWorks as this eats up computational resources and wastes time. Just applying a knurled texture to the face would be faster and easier. Although, there is no default knurled brass texture (only steel).
