Hi Jan,

You will need some tools from a plummer / tinker to cut the metal. Maybe you can borrow some.

I made the loading tray out of a 8 X 5" piece of copper. Folded it over a round wooden stick that had a slightly smaller diameter than the 125 ml empty tin tubes that I was going to use. After folding it I cut of the exceding copper( that was used for handels when folding) and the tray is now 2" that is curved X 8" long. From one of the "handles" I made the spoon to shuff off the paint.

That is how I did, but I think it would be easier to make it from a Aluminium pipe 8" long. This can be cut in two halves with a metal saw and you don
