It does not make it very clear about the actual metal sheet material used,I would say this this is tinplate stock,interesting that the cider vinigar actually arrests the rust whilst submerged,the water is the activator after exposure to air,sea salt has a similar effect,you can get this from healthfood shops.
Coffee tins cut with either tinsnips or scissors, flattened out with a wooden rolling pin on layers of carpet underlay makes good material.
