The material was collected as per usual, divided in to 4 pieces and trimmed with the guillotine
The templates were collected in identical pairs. These templates were then processed by removing splinters and sanded down creating a "tear drop" cut out to be clamped with the aluminium sheet.
2. Hammering "sandwiched" work piece (FAILED)
The workpiece was placed in between the 2 templates screwed on tightly ensuring work-piece to not move when hammered.
Using wooden blocks rounded at the tip on disc sander, the work-piece was hammered from the side down to the middle
then towards the tip of the "tear drop", the work-piece cracked due to increased pressure created by the sharpened wooden block beated continuously
3. Failed result
The outcome was a failed result, thus a new piece was made
5. Hammering "sandwiched" work piece (FINAL)
New tools were used and after some explanations and advice, the work piece was hammered using the back of the nylon mallet.
The hammering process was done in reverse this time, from middle to the edge then to the tip.
Cautions were taken while at the tip to not overly beat it creating cracks. the results as compared to the failed work-piece was significantly better in quality as shown below:
