Step 1: Gather All Materials
Since you have your sheet metal cut you will want to put your name on them with the engramaver. Make sure that you
wear hearing protection when using the engraver. Once your name in on the 4 pieces of sheet metal you can move on
to the next step which is cutting out the circle stencil. Then once you have cut out the stencil you can trace the outline
and make sure you can clearly see the cut lines. Also, make sure that you trace and make all four of your pieces of
sheet metal to make the pedals.
Step 4: Cutting the Circle Pedals
Once you have clearly marked out the cut lines/circle not it is time
to use a pair of tin snips. When you are cutting the sheet metal
make sure to wear gloves and eye protection and it will prevent
possible cuts from the metal. Also, wearing eye protection will
also prevent flying pieces from getting into your eyes. You should
go slow and steady when you are cutting the pedals and after the
first or second pedal you will get the hang of it.
Step 5: Filing Your Pedals
Now that you have cut out all of your pedals you are
going to file the edges of the circles to remove and
excess materials and to improve the shape of your
circles if they are misshapen. Find a vice around the
room that is free and clamp in your circle. When you
are filing you should make sure that you are wearing
safety gloves to protect your hands as well as eye
protection. When filing there are many steps that you
have to follow such as, you should have the file
angled 45 degrees to the surface of the material to
use a file properly. Also, you only are allowed to file
one way, forward, away from you and then you
should pick up the file and bring it back to file again.
If you file on the way back it will wreck the file and it
doesn’t really get rid of any excess material. .
