REFLECTION z5018045 Yu Xie I had a second go of at the aluminum torus. First I analyze the old torus I did weeks ago and figure out the problems and mistakes in 3 points:    - Rough surface - Centre & Sides not aligned - Rough edges - Uneven surface - Centre sunken not equal at different place I figure out that all surface problems are due to the use of wrong sandpapers and English wheels. Centre sunken unequal is because hammering too hard while shaping. Rough edges are also caused by hammering which can be fixed by using files. Centre & sides not aligned is caused by hammering and stretching center part too hard and cause the middle part become fatter than two sides.    By Knowing all problems and how to fix them, I restart the project using same technique. First I gradually fold aluminium over the timber stump and hammering the it into stump's hollow at the same time. By doing this, hammering will do less damage to alumini

FUEL TANK Aim ： For this assignment we are required to create a 1:1 scale template replicating one of the motorcycle fuel tanks supplied. We will using Software technology, laser cutting machines and techniques we learnt from assignment 1 to create an aluminium skin to adhere to a third of the fuel tanks contours. Our chosen fuel tank ：  Harley 883 Iron fuel tank .  STEP 1---Make the Template Tools/Equipment: - 1:1 Tank example - Camera - Sketchup - Rhino - Fusion 360 slicer First we take photos of the fuel tank at different angles and have a measurement.       Next step, we  used rhino  to recap the 3D model and used slicer to slice the model. We tried two kinds of ways to slice the model.  STEP 2 --- Laser Cutting and Assembling the Template Tools/Equipment: - Laser cutter - Glue - Masking Tape   We   exported  2D sheets into PDF file  from slicer and  pu t  into illustrator， set the line weight and change  colo
