Topic: Any hints/tips on how to cut tin can?
I was shopping the other day and came across these cut tin can lolly containers in the shape of a fridge..."That'll be a great Chumby shell! All I'll need to do is make a cutout at the front and a couple of holes at the back!"
Just thought I'll do a quick test tonight with a chisel and a hammer... wasn't too bad but I did it in a rush so there was an uncoordinated side cut...need to file it a bit...
But I do want to ask people - is there a better way?
Ideas already considered :-
Nibbler - Doesn't work, the metal is too soft and doesn't shear away right...
Dremel cutting tool - I can't find my chuck key for it
Drilling lots of holes - Considered....
PS : The idea is to put a USB hard-drive in the 'fridge' as well and voila home media/web server
Edit : The reason I ask is that I still have a more fridges and chumbies Thinking out loud...I might leave the cut ugly and put a bezel around it to hide the ugly cut...
