25 years in sheetmetal, great videos, and instruction. I’ll be sending this to the new guy in the shop. He’s young, and wants to learn. I’m still learning too, thank you.

[@sheetmetalwork]

Thanks

[@jeremywalker666]

Very well done and i love the tools

[@sheetmetalwork]

@@jeremywalker666 agree! tools are what makes this stuff happen.

This is the best sheet metal video I have seen this year!

[@sheetmetalwork]

Thanks M, I appreciate that you took the time to comment:)

[@lukeedwards2066]

This video is a treasure trove of information. Thank You

[@sheetmetalwork]

I’m very happy to hear it may be useful for you. DM

Super helpful video. I have my seams test for my basic tomorrow, and seeing the actual locks and seams on ductwork instead of in a powerpoint has been very nice!

[@sheetmetalwork]

You just made my day:)

[@sheetmetalwork]

BTW, good luck on your test

Dude, wicked video, hope this channel kicks off soon, great content

[@sheetmetalwork]

Thank you Laurie.

Excellent video showing the various metal forming locks. No other video like it. You casually ran an acme lock on a lock former and that is indeed the volume production way, but I'd love to know the bead former roller sequence that the lockformer uses. I bought stainless stovepipe from an elderly Mennonite who had no lock former or even power to his shop: just a bead former. 28 seasons and he is gone but his pipes live on.

[@sheetmetalwork]

Im glad you enjoyed the video. A Groove Seam is or was was done with powerless tools, it looks a lot like an Acme Lock when finished.

Thanks for you you give your mind me work out this bending line

[@BozAwesome]

Thank you!

[@sheetmetalwork]

You're welcome!

[@ddistrbd1]

I a coppersmith hobbyist and try to do most of the seams by hand, would appreciate a close up of the bends after they are formed. nonetheless, this is a fantastic video and it's already bookmarked for future reference. keep it up.

Thanks for the video. You have a nice Power Point, can you share it. I teach a CAD class and wanted to include some sheet metal information my my students ...

[@diar0mardiansyah]

thanks

[@jerrytalley802]

What kind of machine was that you used for the Pittsburgh seam? Most of these seams appear to be used for HVAC, but I’m looking for a way to put that seam on metal for vintage camper restoration, thanks. I know you can make it on a brake. I have 2 siding brakes, but thinking you need the sheet metal shop brake like you have which are big, heavy, and probably expensive? Thanks

[@jayrajpelly7025]

Very very nice 👍 I like

[@sheetmetalwork]

Thank you Jayraj.

[@TheDeadheadable]

My new work does not have a sheetmetal room. I miss it .

[@scrumpmeister]

Do you have a a link to the presentation you're showing in the video? I'd like to review it more as I need to create a seam for a 1900's motorcycle tank and I think it's the ACME seam you show, however I'd like to review all of them. Really interesting video, more close ups please.

[@JohnnyJr396]

Thanks for this. I bought a 24’’ box break and made a Pittsburg lock from your steps and was perfect. Can you tell me why duct flanges are slanted notched. Is it for clearance for cleats?

[@sheetmetalwork]

Hi Johnny, if I understand correctly, you are asking me about the duct connectors. Most of my video demos have S and Drive cleat connectors, we typically notch them at a slant to facilitate assembly. I hope this answers your question, and if not, do not hesitate to ask again 👍

[@JohnnyJr396]

@@sheetmetalwork thank you for explaining that . I really appreciate the help and can’t thank you enough for the videos.

Are you able to make a square down spout using the acme seam and a 10 foot standard brake

[@sheetmetalwork]

Pretty good question. I’m hoping someone else can jump in and help you out with your question……..I personally never made one but I am also the type of person that believes most things are possible. I truly only have limited experience with acme Locks and the ones that I have, we’re done on a roll forming machine………. I would start by sketching out the side profile of an acme lock, perhaps one may be able to accomplish something very similar as this on a brake? The material allowance for the lock alone will be way more than on the role of former. Everything I just said may not be practical for small gutter work, I would personally go with a groove seem instead. Sorry I couldn’t answer with a definite yes or no 👍

[@ChrisKlink56]

Show it next time…GEEZE!!

[@Hoyerlift101]

Show “it”? What is it you wanted to be shown…? Be specific…

[@MarcDiMillo]

What textbook are you referencing here? Also what a fantastic video man. I'm an HVAC apprentice trying to teach myself sheet metal and this channel is a fantastic resource.

[@JohnnyJr396]

Get Richard budzik practical sheet metal layout. It covers this

[@sheetmetalwork]

Hi Johnny, you’re right! And Budzik books are the best.

[@JohnnyJr396]

@@sheetmetalwork yes sir they are good but your lessons are far better!

Hello Duane, I enjoy your videos. Where are you located?

[@sheetmetalwork]

Thanks Norm, I live in Canada, province is New Brunswick, city is Moncton. How about you?

[@UddstromNorm]

@@sheetmetalwork I live in Pittsburgh, PA. I play a lot of hockey, do you know any of the Snow boys?

[@sheetmetalwork]

@@UddstromNorm I’m not sure who you mean by snow boys? But Sidney Crosby, Nathan McKinnon and Brad Marchand grew up approx 150 miles away from here.

[@UddstromNorm]

@@sheetmetalwork Danny Snow had his number retired from Oromocto High School I think. He is 60 now or so, so he graduated around 78 or so. I played with him in Maryland. I know Crosby well, we are huge Penguin fans and season ticket holders

[@sheetmetalwork]

@@UddstromNorm No i did not know Snow but sure know where Oromocto is. I too played hockey for many years, I’m 55 now, I was born in Gardner Massachusetts, moved to Canada when I was 10. I’ve always been a huge Bruins fan.

What is allowance?

Pittsburgh pocket allowance is 1”.

[@apizalfoshizal]

What is your reference book for your types of locks ?

[@sheetmetalwork]

Hi Andrew, believe me I wish there was one and only book of locks and seams. These are taken from a 3 or 4 different textbooks and other resource manuals that we’ve collected through the years.
