Assignment 3 - Tutorial of Torus

Main Requirements:

- Outline the size
- Rounded notch
- Template of the curve


Step 1: Mark the needed size on the aluminium sheet and cut it out.

Step 2: Bend the sheet to get the rough curve and start with nylon mallet hammer on rounded notch.
 - Start working from the middle of the sheet to two end and use the rounded side of hammer

Step 3: Use the curved bar dolly and flat face metal hammer to create the small curve on two sides.
 - The overall curve can be finalized during using the curved bar dolly.

Step 4: Create template to make the right curve.
 - Someone might feel good to use English wheel in this step in order to create a smoother surface. However, in my opinion, I recommend to create a template, that is the only way to create the exact curve you want. Also, using English wheel, the torus will lost the shape that created from step 3, the English wheel will make torus flat.

 

Step 5: Use flat metal hammer to smooth and polish the surface. (Final model of torus)
