You are tasked with designing a functional product that will be fabricated using the Wazer Waterjet. Your project must fit within a work envelope of 18” x 12” and utilize 22-gauge sheet metal (galvanized steel, standard steel, or stainless steel, depending on availability). The final product should be formed by bending the cut piece and should demonstrate both utility and aesthetic appeal.

The gun holder sits on the gunwale on the boat, making slots for the guns to rest in.

Orginal design, slits for bending were too big, left a large gap
Redesigned, slits were made smaller, and nail holes were added for storage when not in use
Fabrication

Unfortunately, when we attempted to bend the product it snapped because the material was too thin
I was unable to re-attempt my cut, as Mr. Swick had already packed up the machine.

If I were to re-cut it, I would use steel rather than the aluminum, causing it to be stronger and resist snapping
