## Steps
### Step 1: Cut the sheets

Using a CNC router, cut and create recesses in the two sheets as specified in the attached file. For a smoother finish, round the edges of the pieces.

### Step 2: Do the folding

Take pieces 1A and 1B and fold them using a heat gun at a 25° angle, ensuring they are mirror images of each other, as illustrated.

### Step 6: More assembly

Proceed by assembling parts 2A and 2B to form the Camicleta's frame. Secure with the appropriate bolts, washers, and nuts. Adjust the seat height before fastening the sides.

### Step 7: Final steps!

Attach the assembled fork to the frame using an axle and make necessary adjustments. Insert the handlebar into the designated openings. Finally, install the wheels along with their axles.
