Making an aluminium ID tag

Making an aluminium ID tag: Start off by measuring 40mm using a ruler & place the engineer square where the 40mm mark was and using a scriber you can make a straight line by pulling the scriber towards you and repeat the proses 2x. By using a hand saw you can cut the aluminium by pulling the hand saw away and towards you... After you cut the aluminium get some soft jaws so you do make vice lines in your cut piece of aluminium. And file off the wast line as straight as you can, using a file down both sides until you reach the 35mm mark and after you have filed your peace of aluminium using the vernier calliper you can measure your peace of aluminium accurately measure your piece of aluminium. After you have measured your piece of aluminium put engineering blue on the pice of aluminium using an old cloth... Let the engineering blue dry on the peace  of aluminium and sand the other side with emery cloth (rap the emery cloth around a file and move your arms side to side shoulder with apart) After that we grabbed a ruler and measured the length the hight and length of your piece of aluminium and measure 30mm down and using a drill a hole in the centre up the top fo your aluminium and make a hole using the drill and replace the drill for a countersink and countersink you peace of aluminium your aluminium should look like this 
After this we stamped letters and numbers onto our piece of aluminium and using emery cloth we made it shiny and after used use a buffing weal to make it shiny and after that, we polished it with grey stuff...
