I am thrilled to see Ron get catapulted into the maker scene, he truly possesses an amazing amount of skill and tricks that are "lost" today. If the producers of the Discovery programs weren't so keen on showing people's faults and toxic relationships, they would have spent more time showing the metalworking that went into the creations people made back then (ca 2003). It was Monster Garage and the other programs that inspired me to try and switch careers by pursuing metalworking. I tried a little bit of everything, never fitting a single mold except to describe my shop as a "Machine Shop". From working on Beer vats to race cars, off road and street rod steering systems, electric vehicles (motorcycles, pocket bikes), and precision components for electric vehicles. Sadly, I had to come back to "reality" when the economy hit the skids.

I was a sheetmetal duct fabricator and many times I would roll out a jig to form my patterns. Say to form a rectangle to oval with a 2 way offset, I would cut the the shape of the rectangle and the oval fold up some small angles and spot weld them the right distance apart and with an offset both ways and then roll it over a sheet a mark with my sharpie. I could make complex patterns in a short time even faster than marking out with radial lines.

Glad you like my videos. Kent White, the principal at TM Technologies has made an excellent DVD on making wing root fairings. Kent has many videos on KZbin, but I don't think that's one of them.

@@RonCovell Thanks Ron . TM Tech has a DVD that explains it and and other useful shapes as well. Keep doing what you are doing! Have a better 2021!

I don't work with metal but the things you and This Old Tony do are way more interesting and entertaining than 99% of what is on TV. My father was a mechanical engineer but I was too bad at math to go to engineering and follow in his footsteps.

I started my college education as an engineering major, but I couldn't get through the math classes either. Then I discovered art and metalworking, and my career developed in those areas.

@@RonCovell That is something they wouldn't have taught you anyway. There's more to machines than functionality. It's a different feeling when the tools and machines you work with have a clearly intentional elegance and aesthetic to them. It's something that is lacking in modern metalworking.

Love sheet metal work. Just built an Airstream Basecamp from aluminium making a bed frame bender. In my mid 70’s intimidated by trigonometry but now I don’t need it!! Thankyou so much. I prefab in stiff cardboard so was with you all the way. Thankyou Thankyou.
