My father was a career sheet metal guy. He taught me a lot about the safe use of tools but sadly, never anything meaningful about Sheet Metal. He did leave me a really cool book about Sheet Metal patterns from the early 1900s that your channel is making me want to take down off the shelf and open up. Thanks for some quality, informative, and easy to consume videos.

Not sure how this showed up in my KZbin feed, but it instantly took me back to my dad’s sheet metal shop that I practically grew up in. Many thousands of pounds of duct work went through there. In fact I couldn’t tell, but I thought the machine to the left of the jump shear was a Pittsburgh machine. But he could lay out the most complex designs on flat metal and know in his head how it would all be bent or rolled together. I still have his sheet metal design layout book from the 50s. Now it’s all computers and laser cutters. Great video and of course I subscribed.

A few pointers that help me, for the tabs to get the right angle at the top, first time use a compass, center point on inside corner & draw arc starting at top of tab (this is the arc the tab will follow when folding) cut straight across arc. Don't fold hems totally flat till after the tabs are folded in. Use left and right shears to automatically turn the tab cuts inward as you do the cutout. Great safety tips! That was fun!

I did check it out very nice. I just made a 5 x 7 pan and made one mistake. I folded the smaller 5'' side 90* first. That is where I had my tabs. I'm using a harbor freight 36'' break which is ok. But that left me with the 7'' side having to be done by hand. It would have been a little easier for me to do the 5'' side with my duct grips. Does it matter what side(the long or shorter one) to put the tabs on ? all in all the 5 x 7 pan came out pretty nice rivets and all. Thank You, looking forward to more video's.

I'm SMW Local 73. This guy is genius. The only problem is, if do the job his way. I would be fired instantly. Time wise of course. BTW , what , if I want to keep liquid in this pan ? Oil for example. I would cut the square for the size , using hand simmer give the starting kink on each side of the square, and then using needle nose players make a twist closing corners w/o cutting them. That gives liquid proof pań done in 20 seconds. That's why the old timers were expected to hang 20 feet of ductwork a day versus 200 feet now days. Someone could ask , what about quality? Yeah, we keep up to standards and hey , someone said-air don't care ,right?😂 So , just put it up and have it done😅

You're not wrong. We are a full custom fab shop with well over a million in tools. But please take a minute and check out our lesson on how to make a tool tray with very few tools. It's a great project to begin with. I would love to know what you think about it. I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for spending time with us.

I have also subscribed after watching Ken in action. I can see that he's demonstrating fundamentals for future projects. I'm interested in forming a drawer for my socket handles and socket extensions. The problem is, where and how to use slides? Thanks for another interesting video. I'm now 3 completed and 4 left to watch. Greetings from the Buckeye State.

I can't wait to have questions from trying this stuff out. What gauge of steel do you recommend for projects like this? If you said it, I missed it. I didn't think I needed a new hobby but, here I am, and here you are with your fun videos. And you were right, I do have most of these tools. I even have some metal from an HVAC project that I can practice on.

This was the first video of yours that I watched; and I am hooked! Outstanding content. Thank you for sharing your craft and skills. Is it possible to show how to seal the corners for an application such as an AC Drain pan? Would soldering the corners work, similar to what you demonstrated in the letter restoration video?

Yes, solder is the best all-around sealer / mechanical fastener of galvanized projects. . Pop rivet and polyurethane is also great. It's critical that you don't compromise the zinc coating or corrosion is eminent.(welding or grinding) Im glad you found us and you ask relevant questions. Thanks for watching
