Aluminium Tray

The task was to create the most identical trays with your partner which is evident in some of the pictures where the trays a placed on top of each other. Here are the steps that I followed in making this tray.

1. With a partner, two identical pieces of aluminium sheets were cut. 
2. A wooden piece to help shape the tray was hand made (shown in the previous post)
3. The metal sheets were annealed to assist in creating the shape easier.
4. The wooden pieces were clamped on both sides tightly and the remaining edge (which should've been 15mm) were hit to one side to make the tray form.
5. Frequent sharp puckerings on the corners were evident, so the corners were done with more precision
6. Once all edges have been done, the top was sanded to make it more flat

HERE ARE SOME PICS! 

DOING THE CORNERS WERE A BITCH!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!
