Intro Phase - Research and Planning

A project log for A Handle on Life – Broken Drawer Handle Fix

Broken drawer handles are a pain, especially with the screws that can get lost easily! This is a fix to get a handle on those drawers again!

Research comes first! Starting this project off, knowing that I want to be able to fix my drawer handle or replace it, I wanted to do some research first. I took a brief look into the aesthetic of drawer handles for 'typical' builds and what people have also done in the past when 3D printing handles as well. 

From this mood board I noticed some patterns. Most of them only replace the current handle slot. Considering this is a reoccurring issue with it coming out of the screw holes, I don't think I want to go the same route. 

The ornamentation is a bigger inspiration from me, with the dog handles being my favourite of the bunch that I've looked at thus far. I'll see about incorporating something interesting into my design - whether that be fandom related or just something to spruce up the drawers themselves.
