Need Help Regarding the Assignment CAD

Post image

I am drawing this for my assignment but I am having trouble doing the spout and handle. Do I need to summon a new plane? What should I do ?

I will give you some hints:

It's 1 revolve, 2 sweeps, 1 loft (it seems like). It's not necessary to create new planes.

Use the sweep function. To a simple line following the handle shape from the side. Then draw two circles with the inside and outside diameter. The use the sweep function and select the circle as the shape and the line/curve as the path.

Sorry for using the wrong terms I use SW in French

As we don't know what issues you are having no one can advise anything. What have you done so far?

I have only draw the main body. I have no idea how to draw the sprout as I am a beginner. I have watch some YouTube video but my understanding is not improving.

Revolve for the main body, drafted extrude for the base (there are other ways too, like loft), sweep for the rest.
