INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can purchase sheet metal at any home improvement store. Sheet metal typically comes in a variety of pre-cut sizes. Choose the size closest to the size you will need. You will likely have to cut it to size or have someone at the store do it for you. It should be about the thickness of a sheet of poster paper. If it's too thick, it will be very difficult to cut and be more expensive. Be sure you are not buying sheet aluminum! They look similar, but aluminum is not magnetic. Transfer the horizontal and vertical measurements from the reference marks you made on the door onto the sheet metal, and draw lines where you will cut. Use a Sharpie®️ ,as it will easily make a solid line on the sheet metal. You can wipe it off with window cleaner later. Cutting your metal requires a pair of tin snips, usually under $10 at your home improvement store. Put on your leather work gloves, because cutting sheet metal creates very sharp edges. As you cut with the tin snips, chances are your hands will come in contact with a freshly cut edge. Cut your metal as you would cut a sheet of poster board with scissors. Go slowly and do not completely close the tips of the tin snips at the end of each "snip," as this tends to create a sharp "tooth" along the cut line. Complete the vertical and horizontal cuts and carefully discard the excess. Use a file to remove all sharp edges along both surfaces of the metal. Also, slightly round the sharp corners. Very carefully, feel the edges to make sure they are smooth. Before you attach the sheet metal panel, clean the interior surface of the cabinet door and the mounting surface of the sheet metal. It is likely that the sheet metal is treated with an oily film when it comes from the factory, and adhesive will not stick properly to oily or greasy surfaces. Use a household window cleaner to clean metal and the cabinet door.

SUMMARY: Buy your sheet metal. Transfer your measurement to your sheet metal. Cut the metal with your tin snips. File sharp edges down. Clean the interior surface of the cabinet door.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The best coffee comes from beans that have been recently roasted, so try to get beans that have been roasted locally. If you can't find local beans, just find a coffee bean that you have enjoyed in the past. If you have a grinder, buy coffee beans that have not been ground yet. Grinding your own will give you fresher and better tasting cold brew coffee. This can be a pitcher, a large jar, or your french press coffee maker, with the presser taken out. To avoid flavors or chemicals leaching into your coffee, try to find a container that is made of glass. Glass will not react with the coffee and will not leach any chemicals into it either. There are some specialty products that are made specifically for brewing cold brew coffee. If you want to make a lot of cold brew and you like gadgets, consider investing in one of these systems. You will want to grind about one ounce of coffee for every one cup of water you will use. Determine how many cups of water your container can hold and then use that many ounces of coffee. If you like really strong cold brew, use more coffee per cup of water. It's up to you, so experiment with the ration to find one you like! There is some debate about what grind to use. Some experts say that you want medium to course ground coffee beans as opposed to finely ground. This is because it makes for a slower, longer extraction of the coffee flavor into the water. Others advocate for a finely ground coffee, as you will get more extraction out of the beans. Since opinions vary, try grinding your beans both ways and figure out which you like better.

SUMMARY: Buy good quality medium roast coffee beans. Find a large container to brew your coffee in. Grind your coffee beans.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wear safety goggles and a face mask to protect yourself from paint and wood dust as you sand, regardless of the sanding method you use. When removing paint from a crack or crevice or stripping it from a small, delicate wooden object, you should sand the paint off by hand. Mechanical sanders use considerable force and can damage delicate pieces. Moreover, they can be difficult to use on small, confined spaces. Use coarse, open-coat sandpaper since other types may clog with paint and wood dust too quickly. Sand with the grain of the wood instead of against it. Decrease to a medium grit paper once you can see the grain of the wood peeking through the paint. Decrease to a fine grit when small bits of paint are all that remain. For larger areas of painted wood, including large pieces of wood furniture, large wooden chests, or wood trim, rely on a mechanical sander to save time. Choose between a mechanical hand sander and a power sander. A hand sander will be a little gentler and makes a good option if you want to preserve more of the wood beneath the paint. A power sander will finish the job faster, though, making it a good choice for especially large projects. Belt, disk, and drum sanders are all good options worth considering when picking a power sander. Use coarse, open-coat sandpaper on your mechanical sander since less coarse options tend to clog up with paint and wood dust too easily. Always sand with the grain of the wood rather than against it to minimize the amount of damage to the wood. Switch to a fine grain sandpaper, if desired, once the majority of the paint has been sanded off and only a few small specks remain.

SUMMARY: Protect yourself. Sand the paint off by hand when possible. Switch to a mechanical sander for larger jobs.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You can make the sail of your kite from several different materials. Decide what look you want for your kite. Some materials can be decorated to make your kite unique. You can use any of the following: Heavy duty garbage bag Lightweight paper Lightweight fabric Newspaper Plastic bag You should have all of your tools and materials gathered in one place before you start a project. Material for the sail Scissors Strong tape Lay the kite frame down on the sail material, and trace a slightly larger kite shape.
