From here we decided that making a case for our spoon would one of our main ideas however we knew very little about what would be possible. We took a trip to the metal workshop and after presenting them with a rough idea of what we hoped for they were extremely helpful. From our discussion we set about measuring my favourite spoon and finding spoons that were slightly larger. We were advised that using a spoon for the base and the lid would make life a lot easier considering we wanted to achieve something very complex. We were also made aware of thin aluminium that can be cut with scissors which would help us greatly. According to the internet and I do hope this is correct 0.016in thickness of aluminium can be cut through so thats what we ordered. The edges of the case would be made of this thin aluminium making it easy to bend into place. Further to this we would also be able to create the decorative features out of this material with more ease than if it were thicker. We hope to have these by the weekend so we can get to work on them through next week.
