Making the fridge

I decided to use some thin aluminum sheet as a casing for the fridge. It will not rust and it will transfer heat much more efficiently than, say steel. No need for fancy tools here, some sheet metal shears will do the trick.

I could or propably should had made a card board template first but try to my style, I just eyeballed it and made the lines.

My dad's garage doesn't have any special metal working tools so I had to get creative. As the sheet is only aluminum, one doesn't need that much force to bend it. Just clamp the piece to a wise and bend away.

Surprisingly everything worked out nicely from the first try. As you can see, there will not be enough room to cool a milk carton here but hey, it is a fridge, honestly!
