Tape Measure Replication.

As part of my first year at university I was asked to create a dimensionally accurate 3D representation of a given object without the use of 3D Printing software. The end result of this task was a high fidelity representation of a basic, low price tape measure.
 
This task was given to improve both my understanding of workshop equipment and my attention to detail. These are 2 things I have defiantly taken away from this.
 
Below you can see the original product from which the dimensions where taken from and my representation of that same product. 
This replication was made using a range of materials and processes, some of which is shown below. 
The separate components.
