I tried to use as many primitves as possible for the best POV rendering.

Looks nice.  I'm not sure whether I should even mention this, but...
Using the primitives means the optional lines from the connic portion of
the shaft extend into the blade of the shovel.  This makes it look just a bit
odd when you spin it around in wire frame mode.  Plus there is the remote
possibility that it will be produced in one of the translucent colors.
Bellville?

I don't know whether it's better to keep the part simple by using more
primitives or to spend (waste?) a lot of time cleaning up those areas and
making the part more complex in the process.  Any opinions?

Have fun,

Don
