    The document provides instructions for making a hollow cone and rectangular tray out of sheet metal. It lists the required tools and materials. For the cone, it describes how to develop the cone pattern, cut out the sheet metal, bend the edges, form the conical shape, and join the edges. For the tray, it describes how to develop the rectangular pattern, cut out the sheet metal, hem the edges, bend the sides to 90 degrees, and join the edges. The goal is to fabricate the cone and tray out of sheet metal to specified dimensions using basic tools and techniques.

    1. CONE MAKING

    Aim: To make a hollow cone out of the given sheet with specified dimensions.

    Tools required:

    1. Sheet metal 2. anvil 3. Try square 4. Steel rule

    5. Divider 6. Snip 7. Scriber

    8. Mallet 9. File 10. Hand shearing machine

    11. Protractor etc.

    Materials required:

    Tin or mild steel of suitable size.

    Procedure:

    1. Development of cone for the given dimensions is drawn on the provided sheet metal using
    protractor and scriber. (Sector of radius equal to the slant length of the cone and arc length equal
    to the circumference of the cone)

    2. Assume, joining allowance of 10 to 15mm on either side of the development.

    3. The sheet metal is exactly cut as per the markings made on it using a straight shear / snip. The
    burrs are removed using a file.

    4. Then the edges are bent for a length of joining allowance. This is done with the help of a mallet
    and an appropriate stake / anvil.

    5. The sheet metal is then formed to the conical shape using a cylindrical stake / anvil and a mallet
    as shown in fig.

    6. Now the bent edges are made to over lap each other and are struck with a mallet to get the
    required joint.

    Result:

    Thus the cone of given dimension is fabricated with the given sheet metal.

    2. TRAY MAKING

    Aim: To make a rectangular tray out of the given sheet with specified dimensions.

    Tools required:

    1. Sheet metal 2. anvil 3. Try square 4. Steel rule

    5. Divider 6. Snip 7. Scriber

    8. Mallet 9. File 10. Hand shearing machine

    11. Protractor etc.

    Materials required:

    Tin or mild steel of suitable size.

    Procedure:

    1. Development of the rectangular tray for the given dimensions is drawn


    on the provided sheet metal using steel rule, protractor and scriber as
    shown in fig.

    2. Assume some joining allowance on all sides of the development for locking
    the tray.

    3. The sheet metal is exactly cut as per the markings made on it using a
    hand shearing machine or snip. The burrs are removed using a file.

    4. Single hemming is made on the four sides of the tray as shown in fig.

    5. Four sides are bent to 90° using stake / anvil.

    6. Then the edges are bent for the length of joining allowance and the
    edges are made to over lap each other and are struck with a mallet to
    get the required joint.

    Result:

    Thus the rectangular tray of given dimension is fabricated with the given
    sheet metal.
