First Attempt

First Attempt 

figure 1

Even I have complete the metal induction and look through some metal sheet making video, the first attempt still is a disaster.

First I use paper to cover my model to figure out what kind of shape I gonna cut out in my metal sheet. After that I use scissor to cut out the shape and draw it over on the metal sheet. 

Once I got my correct metal sheet shape, I use marker to mark out which part I need to bend it in (figure 1).

 During this process, I have found a important thing about bending, it should always bend the metal by same side of sheet.

I did try to mark a line on anther side (figure 2) and the fact is, I just make worse than before. Once I start to bend the sheet on the other side, the metal start be stretched and be twisted. You should always bend the metal by same side.

However, I got a rough metal shape of my model which only be bended by the edge (figure 3). I will improve this surface whit my next attempt.
