Noah Deledda's Incredible Hand-Formed Aluminum Cans

The artist/designer uses tools he's always got "on hand"

Remember that early design school assignment where you're given a block of material (at my school, wood, at another school I'd heard about, aluminum) and asked to transform it into something using whatever means you choose? The assignment is purposely kept vague, as students are encouraged to be as creative as possible.

If the assignment was to transform an aluminum can, rather than a block, Noah Deledda would get an "A."

I really was impressed by his work and the level of detail. The v/o in the video is a bit of a turn off.

I've been following this guy's work and it really does seem like magic. I've been able to mimic a few of the designs by hand- but many of the curvier ones feel so far beyond just using thumbs.
