Hello. This is one craft that I have never tried. Although I have worked with cutting up some aluminum cans. Here’s a link that could give you some ideas.
Hi Les. I'm Cindy. I have worked with wire sculptures several yrs ago. The best advice I can offer is to use safety Glasses and gloves. You can get hurt badly without them. Use markers to mark pattern marks on the tin. Make cuts with good tin snips. You can put parts together with nuts and bolts. Again, think safety first. Good luck Les.
I've worked with sheets of copper or tin where you work from the back side and rub with different types of embossing tools to create 3-d art. Here's a nice article:
