Nice pieces.

How long does it take to layout and punch that much tin? It looks great!

Fantastic pie safe, like the design, build and the tin floral punches added a special touch to it.

It’s harder to cut the tin into squares because of the ribs than punch the holes. For the holes, found a pattern i liked. made a die using 7/8 stock for the top and 3/4 for the bottom. Glued the pattern to the top board and drilled the holes thru both to use 1” concrete nails (loose). Place a board on 3 sides of the bottom to hold it square, clamp it down and start driveing the nails. Measure the nails , want them all the same lenght so you won’t have drifferent size holes. If you want a antique look, pickle them in muratic acid about 40% water 60% be careful it will burn your skin and don’t inhale the vapors. Only takes a few min. so have to watch.
