First draft model

This was my first attempt at the shape of the toy. i used a belt sander on a small block of wood to roughly approximate a grip.

The toy is two hand operated, one to hold and the other to turn the crank and cause pain. I have decided that this is too much involvement for a toy that is expressly for fidgeting. The toy will now be thumb driven. This first object also highlighted the need for a more rounded shape, it feels square and clunky in your hands. I decided to go to clay to explore shapes and the way one can interact with them.
