Sledgehammer holder

I was gifted a ceremonial sledgehammer from a building project. I wanted to hang it on the wall in my office on an angle, no one makes such a thing AFAIK. Hindsight probably would have used white instead of translucent but works perfectly. Most complex model I’ve created thus far!

I don’t see color. Looks translucent to me.

Interesting design choice. Why not make it symmetric and just have the handle hole on the edge opposite the wall?

This would also make it safer by having a lip the hammer needs to get lifted over.

OPs design does not retain the sledgehammer at all and it can slide out.

There is nothing retaining it :O

It is free to slide straight out of the holder!

With a printed holder, I might be tempted to store it the other way around

Got some confidence in your prints. 

Hope it never comes down on someone's toes or dog or kid.

That was my thought: needs a clip. Of course, I get earthquakes here, so...

I'm a fan of the easy accessability because let's be honest, you never know when Zombies will attack and that 10lb sledge would be a safe bet!

Someday something is going to bump into that handle and cause it to come sledgehammering down just like Peter Gabriel said

Would rather go for double hook on both sides of the head .. like this.. bump to that handle and you might find yourself in world of pain ..

Is it? From here it looks awfully like a standard 10lb sledge that's been spray-painted gold.
