Practice Piece

I haven't done a lot of work with metal, so I decided to get some aluminum from the hardware store and try to cut it, sand/file it, drill it, cleco it, and test out the HF rivet gun.  The metal was $8 for 3ft, and I have an idea on how to use the rest of it in the house.  So it is not  a total waste.

Here are a couple of quick shots.  I'm really glad I did this because it gave me some confidence with the bandsaw and drill press.  I'll definitely need to work to drill my holes in a straight line!  I'm also looking forward to getting my scotch-brite wheel this week.
