Step 9Trace the Metal Form
Set the padding aside for a moment, and grab the other piece of paper from step 6. Trace it on to the metal of your choice much as we did the padding. Be careful to make the centerlines on the outside of this pattern, as you don't want to mark up your metal unnecessarily.
For metals, you can go to almost any good hobby or hardware store and find craft materials that will work. Metals over a thickness of .15 might be a little too much for most people. I think I used a .10 thick sheet of brass for the original Ambience Enhancer.
For this one, I didn't have any brass laying around big enough, so I figured I would use a piece of steel from my recovery bin. This particular piece of metal is from a computer case I found laying in a dumpster about 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure at all how the holes are going to effect the final outcome, but I figure why not give it a shot?
