BEIL0014 Digital Making

Introduction: Making two metal trays to try to make it close perfectly. We are given three components to start this project, which is the gauge, aluminium sheet and wooden block. Measurement has to be made before all the hammer work starts.                    As the corners of the metal will fold upward, therefore, its necessary to trim the corners to make the hammer process easier.                                               Final result with the partner as well   

This assignment requires us to make a tear drop shape using two given wooden template to clamp the aluminium sheet in the middle by putting four screws in the corners of the metal sheet, preventing it from moving and make sure, it doesn't expand and drawn into the wrong direction. First of all, i am using the wooden stick to hammer the edge of the shape which can gives a more uniform edge shape and easier to create a better appearance edges. After a few adjustment around the edges, i started hammering the middle of the metal which can draws down the metal. Due to the metal sheet is clamped by the wooden template, it can only go downward which can develop the depth of the metal. After i finished hammering it and unclamp it, i found it is not as deep as i thought, after comparing with some of the fellow students, i decided to start over again doing another one. And it turns out to be much better result. I found this project the most satisfying among all the previous
