Draw the design, and make one conch complete. If satisfac- tory, before doing any of the design, cut the required number for a belt, plus two for accident. This assures that all will be the same size. Then finish, as desired, soldering the belt holders on the back. To take away the tin look, heat the tin by holding it over a flame until a dullness comes over. Remove at once; and then, with brush and Dutch Cleanser, scrub, always in the same direction, until the whole takes on a silver appearance. Brush with chicken-feed lacquer, obtained at any hardware store. Try out on a plain piece of tin first. Rules Clean tin cans well before using. Bend tin with pliers. Use tin snips in cutting.

Tools Ball-peen hammer (% inch diameter at round end) Square and pointed pliers Tin snips (total length about 8 inches) Small file Several punches and nails Ruler T square Compass.
