After we have been demonstrated of the whole process of making the aluminum bowl, I and my friend started to make it the next day.
Material Preparation: Aluminum Sheet & Measuring Tools
Step 1: Draw the circle with measuring tools with a red pen, leave the marks on the surface of the aluminum sheet. Cut off the sheet with the outermost circle with Hand Lever Shear tool.The circular sheet is the initial form of the bowl.
Step 2: Hammer the edge of the sheet with a Melee Hammer on the Sandbag/ Mold, hammer down slowly around the edge in a systematic order.
The initial approach to the bowl model after hammering.
Step 3: To remove the lumpy hammer marks and smoothen the surface of the bowl, also to achieve a hammertone surface finish. Hammer down slowly and systematically to all surface of the bowl. Measure the radius multiple times while hammering.
The result after hammertoned.
Measuring the radius of the bowl.
Step 4: Smoothen the surface once more and to make the bowl more round & geometrically even, by using English Wheel to roll over the surface. Roll through the bowl through all directions.
Measuring after wheeling.
