Metal box

I needed a box for my spindle square so I attempted making one in 22 gauge galvanized metal.

It will do, but it's not perfect. I'm not particularly skilled at tin bashing but do enjoy it and my bending equipment is less than the best.
 
I forgot to mention one of the many mess ups I made was I meant to leave tabs for corner to be riveted together but forgot about it and ended up having to solder the corners together. I guess it looks a bit neater but not as strong.

That's not a mess up. It's a free metalworking lesson. Invoice yourself and write it off as an educational deduction.
