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.
