Metalica

Something that probably everyone in the mini world knows already but sharing all the same. I wanted to make a zinc topped farm table and had the idea of using a soda drink tin to immitate the zinc. The mini ones, like here, seem to cut easier with a scissor and after flattening out look quite good. Not sure how to age it, maybe sanding as there is a 'food' finish on the inside.

  1. you did a great job of flattening out the metal, did you use a pasta machine?

    1. Hi, sorry for the late reply, I pulled it over the edge of the table as you would straighten cardboard that has been rolled up, then I put weights on it over night ! it does have a strange 'finish' on it that makes it tricky to age. I am still trying things out ! Best wishes Stephanie
