Metal Work
I used the metal workshop to experiment with making metal labels either for the top of the box to say what's inside or as labels inside the box to match the instruction booklet so you know what's what. I may even use both. Metal letter stamps can be used to stamp words onto soft metals. I chose copper as I new it could be heated up to give different colours and not look so shiny and new and it is also a soft metal. A drawback of this is that the font size is quite small so if it was to go on top of the box it might look abit small. The test pieces I used were only about 5cm wide and long which is small compared to the size of the box I have made. Also when stamping on metal the letters can be made out on the reverse side and there are reverse stamps to make use of this.
