BLISTER FABRICATION

The task was to create a Blister using the given materials. The tear shaped form was fabricated through the use of a hammering tool. When creating the piece, I have used the process shown in the video that was given to us by Russell. Here is what i did!

  1. As always, aluminium sheets were cut to wanted size.
  2. A wooden piece was given to us with the tear shape branded which had to be cut down using an electrical jigsaw and a bobbin sander
  3. Using this cut wooden board, the aluminium sheet was placed on top, which was clamped together to all four corners. 
  4. Utilising the round shape of the nylon mallet, it was placed onto the side and was hammered down using another nylon mallet (this description is pretty shit so I will upload a video demonstration later. 
  5. The thick mallet wasn't able to shape the sharper edge of the tear shape, so a thinner and sharper wooden piece was used instead.
  6. After creating the shape, the same sharp wooden piece was used the hammer the edges of the Blister to highlight the shape
