End design.
Drawing Notes:
The anvil is facing left with a hammer above. The left side of the anvil is pointed and the top is rounded back to the offset in the top edge. This allows for curvature to be formed into the metal being formed. The hammer is positioned just above the anvil as it strikes a blow. Notice that the flat side of the hammer is above the flat side of the anvil. Anvils come in many sizes and weights depending on the use.

Drawing Notes:
The sickle is drawn to the bottom left of the page and curves around its label. The handle points straight down as if it is hanging on a wall. The Scythe starts at the top of the page and the blade curves downward to the left. Again, the handle is pointed straight down as if it is hanging on the wall.
Fun Facts:
A sickle is a farming tool with a C-shaped blade mounted on a small handle (about the size of a hammer handle). It’s meant to be used with one hand, typically to harvest bundles of plants (like grasses or grains) by cutting them at the base.
The sickle appeared on the flag of the Soviet Union along with a hammer in an overlapping symbol that became known as the hammer and sickle. The hammer was meant to represent industrial workers (who worked in factories), while the sickle was meant to represent the peasants (who worked the land). The hammer and sickle is known as a symbol of Communism.
The name Sickle is also used as the name of a group of stars in the constellation Leo that is shaped like the tool.
The shape of the sickle is also behind the name of the medical condition sickle cell anemia, in which the blood cells become shaped like sickles.
A scythe is a farming tool with a long, slightly curved blade that’s mounted on a long pole (called a snath). Real-life versions usually have two shorter hand-sized handles attached to the pole—one in the middle and one at the end. Either way, you have to use two hands to properly wield a scythe.
The scythe is used to cut grasses and grains—it’s designed so the blade moves in a plane parallel to the ground.
The verb reap is another word for harvest. The depiction of the Grim Reaper with a scythe isn’t traditionally meant to indicate that the scythe is going to be used to kill the person whom Death has come for—it’s simply supposed to symbolize that the Grim Reaper harvests souls. But, yes, that big blade does look pretty scary with a Halloween costume.

Drawing Notes:
The jackhammer is a beast at four foot tall. The two handles are padded to help soften the pain of the jack hammer blows. The top has two depressions for a second person to help move the hammer and support the weight. This hammer is currently loaded with a spade bit to split rocks in a straight line. Depending on the brand, you can color the body almost any color.
