Task 3 - Tray

Cut the sheet metal to desired size and marked a border as a guide for the walls of the tray. Cylindrical tools were then used to mark rounded corners. These curves were then cut out using tin snips.

My partner Iris and I created a timber template that was the exact size that we wanted our tray to be to ensure that the final products would be the same. 

First attempt was unsuccessful as I lacked confidence and was scared I was doing it wrong which did happen because I didn't secure the piece tight enough. This meant that the metal sheet shifted and warped.

Second attempt was more successful as I hammered around the timber template with more confidence. Cut off the overhang using tin snips.
