Finale Reflection on project

My finale project for engineering is a small secure metal box. The box is a more complicated than I thought. I have to build on the idea on a small chest but more squared out and structured. I accomplished a couple designs for the box and a small failure of a prototype. The hardest part so far has been building the box. As making a sheet metal box has proved its self to be harder than I anticipated. The best part has been figuring out what works and what doesn't work. I've learned how to cut, fold, and put together metal. I've also figured out how to make a box, which I never thought would be complicated.

These are my initial design sketch, my process and my first test failure.
