Hello Cool_splash!
It is possible to construct a spoon using AutoCAD. I think this is a challenge for a modeler. But it is not possible to describe the way to do it just in a few phrases. Not with my English knowledge!
If they are not requirements for high dimensional precision probable you should try to complete the job using other software products. 3D Studio may be a good choice.
Good luck and I hope to hear soon about your progress!

first of all thank you.....
ok there is no details... they want only a spoon... with a strong render jpeg
but it must be solid not surface....until
17.08.2003

Modeling a spoon
Conventions: I marked with red the last constructed or modified entity. Also I have rotated the view when I thought that it will help me to give a better explanation . You don’t need to follow me each time.
I marked with capital letters the entities as I created them. The numbers refers points or surfaces.
I assume you know the basics so I often omitted the details.
When we extrude shapes the needed height usually is not known. Keep in mind that it is easiest to use a part of a “longer” solid than extend a small one, so make it "long enough".
We are working “by eye”. Sometime, if you don’t like the shape, you will need to use Undo several times to modify a dimension or a distance and then to remake the loosed steps. This job is easier to complete in other programs like 3D Studio, but AutoCAD can handle it too.
I used AutoCAD 2000
Words in UPPERCASE represents commands or options and those in Italic are the prompts and answers returned by AutoCAD.
Let’s start!
Create 3 layers named Spoon, Work and 2D. Make 2D the current one.
Set DELOBJ to zero.
Draw a horizontal line (A) and move it on the layer 0. We will use this as symmetry axis for our models. Draw a circle (B) with the center on the axis. Copy it (C) and draw an other circle (D) tangent to the first two (image 1).
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon01.png
Trim the circles until you got the shape presented in the second image. Draw a polyline between the points 1 and 2. Select it, right click and choose Polyline Edit. Press J for join and select the arcs. Now you have a closed polyline (E).
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon02.png
Revolve it around the axis defined by the points 1 and 2. Move the resulted solid (E) to the layer Spoon. Make this layer current and freeze the 2D.
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon03.png
Slice the solid. When prompted:
Specify first point on slicing plane by [Object/Zaxis/View/XY/YZ/ZX/3points]
enter ZX and click in the point marked with 3 in the image 3.
Use 3Dorbit to rotate the view as in the image 4. Use Solidedit to create the cavity: SOLIDEDIT > BODY > SHELL.
Remove faces or [Undo/Add/ALL]:
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon04.png
Click the face marked red in the image 4. Enter the offset distance (I marked it with two clicks on the screen). Now we have a shell (image 5).
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon05.png
Set the layer Work as current.
Now we “only” need the handle. Pay attention to the joint of the two parts!
Due to symmetry is enough to draw only the half handle.
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon06.png
Draw a rectangle (G) intersecting the shell (image 6). Extrude it. The height of the extrusion must be at least the half width of the handle (image 7). We need the intersection of the solids F and G. But we don’t want to loose the F so we will use INTERFERE instead of INTERSECT.
INTERFERE
Select first set of solids: Select objects: select the F solid
Select objects: Select second set of solids: select the G solid
Create interference solids? [Yes/No] <N>: y
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon07.png
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon08.png
The H solid is now created (image 8 ). Freeze the layer Spoon, unfreeze 2D.
Draw a horizontal line marked I (image 9) and a circle J tangent to E and I. The circle J must meet the polyline E over the solid H. Trim the circle J using as cutting edges the line I and the polyline E. Delete the line I (image 10).
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon09.png
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon10.png
Draw a polyline K between the corner of the solid H and the arc J (image 11). Edit the polyline K: add to it (join) the arc J (image 12).
Now we will curve the top of the solid H
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon11.png
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon12.png
SOLIDEDIT > FACE > EXTRUDE
Select faces or [Undo/Remove]: select the top surface (marked with 4 on the image 12)
Specify height of extrusion or [Path]: enter P
Select extrusion path: click the polyline K.
You have something like in the image 13, right?
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon13.png
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon14.png
The end of the handle is curved (5, image 13). We are going to change it.
Rotate the UCS with 90 degrees around the OX axis. Draw a line Ltrough the corner 6 like is showed in the image 14. Slice the handle. When prompted about 3 points enter the two ends oh the line L and for the third one enter @0,0,1<enter>. Delete the line L.
You must have something like in the image 15. Extrude the face marked red in the image 15. The result is shown in the image 16.
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon15.png
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon16.png
Slice the handle:
Specify first point on slicing plane by [Object/Zaxis/View/XY/YZ/ZX/3points] <3points>: enter ZX
Specify a point on the ZX-plane <0,0,0>: click the endpoint marked with 7 (image 16)
Now slice it again, this time by a XY plane passing through point 8
The result is in the image 17.
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon17.png
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon18.png
Rotate again the UCS with 90 degrees around the OX and draw a polyline M to give shape for the rest of the handle (image 18 ).
Use SOLIDEDIT > FACE > EXTRUDE. By extruding the face marked red in the image 19 along the polyline M you got the handle as in the image 20.
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon19.png
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon20.png
Return to the previous UCS and draw a polyline N to shape the half of the handle. There are some restrictions regarding this polyline (see image 21): at the end marked with 9 the polyline must exceed the handle (H) but at the end 10 the polyline must be inside of the handle. Also at the end 10 the last arc must have the center point at the same Y co-ordinate as the spoon axe is. Otherwise the handle will be not smooth.
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon21.png
Mirror the polyline N and get the polyline O (the mirror axis is the same as the spoon axis). POLYEDIT the polyline O: join N and than close it. See image 22 for the result.
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon22.png
Extruding the closed polyline O we got the solid P. Be sure that P intersects the handle H, move P along the OZ axis if needed (image 23).
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon23.png
Intersecting the solids P and H we have the half of the handle (image 24).
http://www.cadimage.net/fuccaro/spoon/spoon24.png
On my spoon there were unwanted edges on booth sides of the handle. I used FILLET to get rid of them. As radius you should use the maximum allowed value. So try a radius, undo, try again, undo again....
The rest is trivial: mirror the half handle and use UNION to combine the three solids in a single one. Try to FILLET every edge to give a more polished look.
Enjoy your meal!

Well I just had to !
SPOON IN SURFACE MODELLING
I drew a spline, mirrored it, 'break' then RULESURF. This
creates a surface between two curves, splines, polylines.
EDGESURF between four touching lines/splines would have had a more
smooth shape.
In inventor even easier !!!

U are much bettter than me !
In SOLIDS
I would have used a sphere, sliced the top off aka a knife cutting the dome shape off an apple. Copied it scaled it down. Subtracted the scaled down one from the original, this would create the hollowed out shape. then the handle would be an extruded profile or a extrude profile and path.

Check the command line for the shell thickness/size.
Copy and paste the command line text here so we can help. Hit F2 to see the full text window of all you have done.

Sorry to come back to this :oops:
Seems I'm having the same problem as the others:
The spoon has no "scoop" once I've completed the shell command. There is a wireframe that shows the scoop....but its like a half full sphere when viewed in Shaded view....if you know what I mean
Command: _solidedit
Solids editing automatic checking: SOLIDCHECK=1
Enter a solids editing option [Face/Edge/Body/Undo/eXit] <eXit>: _body
Enter a body editing option
[Imprint/seParate solids/Shell/cLean/Check/Undo/eXit] <eXit>: _shell
Select a 3D solid:
Remove faces or [Undo/Add/ALL]:
Enter the shell offset distance: 0.1
Solid validation started.
Solid validation completed.

Best to do the "shell" prior to slicing through the solid. :)
It looks good in a dish I drew too :)

hey great tutorial... im new to 3d and i thought id try it out.
Getting stuck on
-Click the face marked red in the image 4. Enter the offset distance
Its not letting me just select that rim, but selecting the whole object.
Therefore its giving everything a offset.
Any advise would be more than appreciated.

I can not reproduce the error here but try an other approach:
Trim the curves as in image 1 but before to create a polyline, offset them to inside. Create two polylines. Rewolve both of them and subtract the inner solid from the outer one. You have a shell, right?
It should work.

Brilliant that worked great.. thanks..
Next problemo
(You must have something like in the image 15. Extrude the face marked red in the image 15. The result is shown in the image 16. )
For some reason it wont let me just pick that face on its own and extrude it.!!
Getting there though and am very excited to finish it. Its amazing how you worked this out.!! :-)

Yes, your model is closer to a real spoon as mine is. Enjoy your meal! :)
You used an other way to make the 3D model, right? Or maybe just the solid is exported in other program for rendering?

nope - used your tutorial to the T. rendered in AutoCAD 2005, using color 144. you can see the file i uploaded, download it and see. 8)
it's not 100% to your tutorial because i didn't have exact dimensions, so i went with what i thought was close to yours :)

Nice effort StykFacE... looks good. I'd like to have another go since my 1st attempt looked more like a wooden ladle..!! hehe Mind you it was my 1st EVER go at 3d :-)

10Q 4 tutorial, fuccaro. It's cool. I made a spoon in Acad 2007 exactly by your instructions.

Very cool, awesome approach to it. Ill put mine up in a few minutes once i render it and make it pretty lol.
Something i did differently that was much easier in my opinion is that once i made my box i centered it then extruded off the face. That way i didnt have to slice it and ext again and then ext 1 more time off my new face. I exttrudeded off the face of the interefered solid piece, made my polyline and then folowed the rest of the steps. Hope theres a tutorial for realism casue my rendered spoon is literally laughing at me.
Thanks for the great tut. lookin for more in the future.
TIP: I was just taught how to make the shaded or rendered solid much cleaner.
type facetres into the cmd prompt and set to 10. takes all those rough edges out. makes your spoon look as pretty as...well mine hahah kidding. Gimme 5 min to get a pic up.

The not so finished product of hours of work...that should have only taken 20min. I gotta read a render tut. it looks like garbage at the moment. Maybe tomarrow ill repost a good lookin one on a table with a cup and such

here's mine, but i made it in another way. instead of the shell command, i use loft--> guides command. i'm stuck with that shell command the way fucarro did with his spoon. although following fucarro's steps is a better way how to model the spoon. it took me between 4 to 5 hours (without a break/rest) to model my spoon. and another 3 to 4 hours for the fork (without taking a break, really. i really felt the tiredness of my eyes. i forgot to eat, i just slept and slept lolz!)
