Description
This is a torque wrench I designed as a school project. My goal for this was to try to emulate the mechanisms inside a ratcheting torque wrench and for the final result to be somewhat functional. The final design makes an effort to show off the internal mechanisms and how they move as the wrench is ratcheted or as the torque limit has been reached. The top is designed to be removeable to provide a better view.
There are no torque loading markings as the torque loading will vary for each user due to the different springs being used.

Wooden Stand
For the wooden stand, I sanded the whole model until I had a smooth surface, slowly working up from 80 grit to 1500 grit. Afterwards, I added a thin coat of varnish using a sponge paint brush, going smoothly and gently across the print to avoid air bubbles. I brushed in the direction I wanted the grains to form. Afterwards, I let it dry for a day then added a clear coat to protect it.
