Tutorial - The Bowl This tutorial will explain and provide the necessary steps to create an aluminium bowl. Throughout the tutorial there will be emphasis on the use of tools that inflict minimal wear to the material. Ultimately, a focus towards the care of materials to ensure minimal surface imperfections for a clean end result. Materials Required 1 x Aluminium Sheet Tools Required 1 x Compass Scribe 1 x Sheet Material Guillotine  1 x Tin Snips 1 x Nylon Mallet 1 x Sandbag 1 x English Wheel 1 x Sand Paper / Board Stage 1 Select a sheet of aluminum that will be used to cut the bowl template. If possible, using annealed aluminum would provide the best results as it makes the material more malleable which is beneficial during forming. Stage 2 Upon selecting the sheet of aluminium, use a compass scribe to begin inscribing a circle template onto the sheet. Stage 3 After inscribing the template, the sheet can be cut to

Process / The second assignment involved forming teams of 6 to work on creating a scale template for a Ferrari 250 Gto model. The model would be divided into equal portions and each team member would work towards creating their piece of the overall car shell. The initial process involved creating the 'waffle' slices from fusion 360. In hindsight, we should have experimented more with possible slice variations and materials thicknesses as we were left with some strange slices and because we had several sections the pieces proved difficult to fit as the slices became wedged together and prevented other slices from taking its position smoothly.   The car shell was taking shape, though as a result of the large number of slices we were beginning to experience fitment issues. We decided to cut some of the slices using the bandsaw to widen the slots for easier assembly. Fitment was also made easier by reducing a few slices to only incorporate the crucial piece
