The mechanics: The circuit board for the radio in which everything will be later connected to. Using a compass to get an idea as to where holes need to be cut in order for the solar lights to sit properly on top of the tin can. That’s after both were placed on the tin, traced, and then measured in order to determine accurate centers in order to things to seem a bit more aesthetically pleasing. Once holes were cut using some low tech items, such as scissors and an Exact-O-blade, they needed to be properly stretched out to the needed size. Unfortunately it was a little complicated to cut out the tin without properly tools, so the holes were roughly done. After doing such, the tin had some rather rough edges that needed to be pounded out.  Using a hammer, and an iPhone to produce some lovely videos,  the tin edges were pounded out in attempt to make them slightly less jagged.

I thought I'd share a trick I figured out to make tracing contours of circles easier. I'm building the welder cart cable reels and needed a bigger outer circle for the sides of the reels. All I did was take a large washer and cut a flat on one side and then drill two holes for the marker to ride in. If you put a finger on the washer as you hold on to the marker, you can trace out the line you want easily. No protractors, no freehanding it. Simple and easy. If you don't have a washer big enough, using a small piece of metal will work just as well. #designsbyandrew #metalworking #metalworkingnation #welding #fabrication #fab101 #fabricationsimplified #fabricationlife #tracingcircles #drawingpatterns #tipoftheday #simplecircle
