TASK SHEET: Assessment 1.1 – Sheet Metal Toolbox and Workbook
Task Description:
This task consists of two parts the first is the construction of a sheet metal
toolbox from the plan that has been provided to you, using 0.8mm Galvanized
Sheet Metal. The final product will represent the supplied design with the
exception of a small design element that you will create and add to the finished
product.
The second component is the completion of the; Task 1 – Sheet Metal Toolbox
Student Workbook which contains associated theory questions, design work,
drawing exercises, costing tables and evaluation activities.
The aim of this task is to:
 To become familiar with basic measuring and marking tools
 To learn basic measuring and marking principles
 To learn basic metal bending and cutting skills
 To test your skills in relation to accuracy and precision.
 To learn basic machine operations and machine skills.
 Introduction to basic design within an allocated theme/structure.
Task Specific Requirements:
 You are required to produce your design according to the correct procedures and adhere to all
safety rules of the workshop throughout the production stages of your project.
 The design is set and the finished product must mirror the original sample (excluding the
individual design element) and tolerances will be checked.
Machines Used:
 Bench Shears
 Guillotine
 Pan Break
 Magna Bender
 Hand Drill/Cordless Drill

Mark out the detail of the body and indicate any waste.
Cut to shape
Bend the 10mm safe edge, then the 15mm lap joint using the magna bender and the pan break.
Bend the two sides.
Check the width between the sides (150mm) and adjust the measurements if required before marking
out the ends.
10. Mark out the detail and indicate the waste.
11. Cut to shape, fit to the body and bend the safe edges.
12. Spot weld one end into place, rivet the other to the body.
Handle
13. Check the length between the ends (380mm) and adjust the measurements if required before marking
out the handle.
14. Mark out the detail and indicate the waste.
15. Cut to shape and bend the safe edges.
16. Bend the shape of the handle
Design Elements
17. Using the design proforma in the Task 1.1 Sheet Metal Tool Boox Workbook design a small element that
could be fitted to or slide along the tool box to enhance the design and add indivudal creative flare.
18. Source material, mark, measure and cut. Make any nesscary bends and cuts
Assembly
19. Fit and rivet the handle to the body.
20. Fit Design Element to the toolbox.
21. Apply a surface finish.
