Introduction
In this experiment, it's about making a toolbox, and we're going to learn how to cut the aluminum
panels in the cutting machine and also, how to bend the panels and cut them in the hand shear machine
to be shaped like a toolbox, which is the final product required in this experiment.

Methodology

First stage is the design stage, which all measurements are taken and how the tool box will look.

Second stage is cutting the large metal sheet to our measures by using Hydraulic shearing Machine as
shown in figure 2a, the sheet after been cut shown in figure 2b

Figure2b: sheet after been cut

Third stage of the process is cutting the metal sheet to obtain a desired shape by using Table saw figure
3, the sheet after been cut by table saw figure 3b.

Fourth stage is bending the metal by using sheet metal bending as in figure 4a after highlight the parts
we needed as shown in figure 4b

The final stage of this experiment is to brought every piece together to prepare for the welding process
next time.

Result
The figures below showing the work piece, After completing all process from design, shearing and
bending

Discussion
We agreed that the design of the box should be cubic, which would make it easier to make, and we had
some problems taking measurements, cutting the aluminum plate, and lining up, and we had a problem
taking the side-end scales of the box, and after a lot of effort and by helping of the instructor , we were
able to solve the problems and look like the box.

Conclusion
In the end, working with the hand has been hard and useful at the same time. designing and cut the
aluminum plate. They were all steps of the making the tool box. It remains only to weld the pieces. In
order to complete the final shape of the box.
