Sheet Metal Box

i made a sheet metal box in class it is really simple mostly all you will need is a piece of metal the layout some shears,a hammer a spot welder, a sheet medal machine, and a sand blaster or sand paper.the struggles you will have mostly with this project is trying to make the folds line up to spot weld. but any ways lets get started.

Step 1: Make the Layout on the Sheet of Metal

Step 2: Cut the Layout Out on the Metal

Step 3: Bend Hems on the Metal With a Hammer Like Shown

Step 4: Next Bend the Side Hems With the Bender

Step 5: Do Step 4 But With the Front and Back Pieces

Step 6: Next Sand Blast the Box to Make All the Rust Go Away

Step 7: After You Sand Blast Then You Spot Weld the Box on the Corner. Set the Spot Welder to 1.5 Seconds

Step 8: After You Spot Weld Then You Should Have a Completed Box

Very cool. These techniques could be used to make a variety of neat things with sheet metal. Nicely done.
