It was much more possible to access and utilize the material during the industrial revolution. Can you imagine swinging a five pound hammer day and night for a week or so to get a couple square feet of tin to work with? Ouch! Only softer metals could be thinned down with this crude technology of the time, and was not cost effective or durable to use as decor on a practical scale.Ĭorrosion was a big challenge and factor for early production, as rust would quickly chew away at the finish, not so good for art! With countless improvements implemented, sheet metal tooling became more efficient through the 19 th century, and has essentially used the same mechanical processes ever since. Until then, small amounts could be hand worked into a thin sheet by various hammering and rolling methods, but uniform bigger sheets were not very common. It didn’t really exist much in its modern vintage before the eighteenth century, as sheet metal was not readily available in quantity…or for that matter, quality.
