- If you begin to look you will see how and where sheet metal is used.
In this video I want to encourage visualizing how the project would look laid out on a sheet of metal or maybe draw it to scale. Try to figure out what it looks like deconstructed. Determine how many bends it took and how it was bent. Looking at sheet metal projects from this prospective might give a better idea how to tackle some projects you want to try.
Thank you for watching.
Ken, I don’t know why YT isn’t promoting your channel more. Your presentations have been riveting and definitely fun. Thanks for all the inspiration. 👍👍😎👍👍
I'm glad you are learning and enjoying the lessons. Thanks
Couldn't agree more. With the quality of presentation I was expecting this channel to be a 100K sub size...not even 1K...but it also looks like the channel is only a few months old so i think he's gonna get some traction pretty quick! Keep up the great work Ken!
Awesome presentation. Im 45 yrs old and been in hvac 25 yrs. Me and my employees only thought i was good with sheet metal. Till i watched your video. I am making it mandatory for all 9 of my guys to watch this. You are not only skilled at your sheet metal fun but also your teaching.
thank you so much for doing these projects. my father was a sheet metal mechanic. he took me in to the shop once and i punched holes. that was pretty neat. i wish he had stayed in that field instead of electronics.
I started watching some paper crafting videos last year and loved making boxes. i really would prefer metal and now i have found your channel.
I'm 45, been and a lot of the stuff you're covering I'm aware of, but you remind me of a High School shop teacher. You add in new ways to see things that are just as rewarding.. your tool tray video inspired me to start from the beginning, and I'm a fan of you Ken, you were meant for this
We gotta keep searching , challenging, and learning. We are grateful that you found us. Let's become more capable and self-reliant. Thanks
Wow, that suitcase is awesome!
I made that in 78. You aint gonna believe this , but I was the only guy in the apprenticeship program with one. It's still the only one I've ever seen. It was less than 3 bucks if I remember right. The brass tag is off of an old gravity furnace I changed out.
I really can't wait for you to start on that suitcase thing. I have a rough idea on how to proceed, but the devil is always in the details. Love to see your insights
The suitcase is on our list of projects. I'm glad you're looking forward to seeing the pattern development. Thanks for hanging out with us.
Very educational. We’ll done explaining each step of the way and how the they relate to one another.
Thank you for sharing you knowledge great teaching.
This is a labor of love ,and you are welcome. We are glad you found us.
But I like Rootatootin Snazzy Tools LOL , Excellent Tutorial Video, you would make a Superb Instructor in our sadly forgotten Trade Schools.
I'm big time into snazzy tools. I got a shop full of em. I tried to be a shop teacher at both of our high schools but all I have is a four year apprenticeship and 40 years of plumbing, heating and air, welding, auto repair, sheet metal, and electrical experience. They told me thanks, but no thanks. So, my wife and I decided to try to teach on RUclips. It has been a blast. We are having fun sharing and learning. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant 👍👍
I wonder if the beginners should practice many of these activities using paper. Perhaps a heavy paper one could get at a craft store. It should simulate a LOT of what is done with sheet metal and gives people who don't yet have access to time or tools can work through the exercises. This way when they get to applying the lessons to sheet metal, there will be a greater sense of having already done this before and thus having more confidence.
Obviously the rules for paper and sheet metal are vastly different. The way snips are used is a very good example of this. (speaking of which, I think it would be nice to have a set of snips designed specifically for cutting and notching operations. (unlock to notch, lock to cut) Probably a good idea for beginners)
Wow ,you are overflowing with great ideas. I enjoy your productive mind. I'm glad you are hanging out with us. Let's keep learning together.
@@kengodfrey1956 Thanks! To that end, learning how to best understand and use hand tools are essential. I took my son to lowe's the other day looking at sheet metal working tools. I came away with more questions than answers. There were some that appeared to be "left handed"? It didn't say left handed but it appeared that way. And some are for making straight cuts? Not sure how that works and would be useful to better understand it. There are special scissors that do decorative cuts but I've never heard of one outside of that "good for straight cuts" before. So I guess if you do a bit of "training/practicing with paper" the differences between paper and sheet metal would most certainly come to light as would the special requirements for tools and how to use them.
I sure appreciate your get after it mindset . I will do a snip snippet (ouch) in an upcoming lesson. Thanks for learning along with us.
Hi Mister Grat job pleasure ti see and listen to you, hand works make human humans
the pleasure is mine. Thank you.
Hey Ken, you should make a tray for your eraser🙂 @10:43 in this video.
Good eye. I like it. I'll put that in my brain randomizer. Thanks
I shouldn't have watched...now I have to make a brief case...
Gotcha.
Just like back in metal class when i was in junior high 1980 i think
It was fun then, and it's still fun now. Metal shop, I never left. I'm glad you found us. Thanks for watching.
@@kengodfrey1956 yes I am new
We have some cool lessons. Let me know which one has the most surprising stuff in it. I'd like to know what you think.
