    I'll probably never need to build such a transition, but it's a joy to learn how to do it!
    Thanks a lot!

      It's a good idea to learn new processes and procedures. It builds awareness and confidence. That's two good things even if you never pick up pair of snips. Thanks for watching.

    I always set my brake like that works great for making a cross brake, keeps everything nice, and even. I can tell you're an old timer like me .the pop rivet gun gives it away can't get those anymore . Great video

      Good eye on the pop gun. I've had it 40 years. Yep, I'm an old timer, I turned out in 83 after a 4 year apprenticeship. I still love my job. Thanks for hanging out with us.

    So glad I found your channel. I'll be here watching and learning. Hopefully one day you'll demonstrate how to make a one piece cover for a square tub with radiused corners, it that's even possible, with hand tools.

    • @kengodfrey1956
      @kengodfrey1956  10 месяцев назад +1

      We are glad you found us. Square to rounds are some of my favorite pattern developments. We haven't done our soldering lesson yet. I just found a good electric soldering iron, so it will be soon. I'll show you how to do radiused corners then. Until then, take a look at our sign restoration lesson. Let me know what you think. Thanks for watching.

    Hey Ken,
    very nice videos that you put out there. I am a machinist and part time fabricator, but i never did sheet metal besides flat covers or easy bends.
    Your videos made me interested in learning sheet metal, it is really fun, and i learn so much from your videos, please keep making them!
    I also did enjoy seeing the sign you restored light up, thanks so much for your time making these videos, i appreciate you teaching your skills.
    Have a good day Ken, Greetings from Germany, Chris

    Another great tutorial. I’ll something like this for a small spray can/powder coat booth.
    Never thought about using the brake as a clamp, then bending part down. That tip will be handy.

    Have you sen Ron Covell's series on rollination? This technique makes square to round very easy. No complex measurements.. just roll the pattern out. I have watched this series three times. I lost track of your method but will be watching your channel for interesting projects and techniques.

    • @kengodfrey1956
      @kengodfrey1956  9 месяцев назад

      Our channel is designed to encourage folks to develop pattern development and mechanical thinking. And to step outside their comfort zone. Having said that, I dig Ron Covells work. And I do use rollation from time to time. Thanks

  • @sethpeterson9785
    @sethpeterson9785 10 месяцев назад

    Thanks Ken your videos are much appreciated, do you have a way for making a rectangle duct offset starting collar? And also do you way to roll radius on sheet metal if you don’t have a slip roll?

    • @kengodfrey1956
      @kengodfrey1956  10 месяцев назад

      For a small offset, I use an inside tap on the start collar. If you need more offset , you will need to make a transition. We will cover that in a future lesson. But that could be a month or two. Now for the radius rolling. To prevent creases and buckles, always bend your piece around and series of cylinders or pipes. Start big, a trash can, ( I've bent stuff around the tree in front of the house) a paint can,then down to a pipe, and gradually get smaller until you get the radius you need. Let me know if that helps. Thanks for watching

    Sheet Metal is Fun!
    I see this project all the time for work, the majority i believe either robot or Chinese (or similarly unsafe practices inother countries) i now appreciate the artistry and skills that are being lost to silicon chips.
    Im drooling over the mechanical tools but alas im stuck with the basic hand tool options, when the weather improves i have a folding, hinged wind break for a camping stove and with the left over ss sheet left work "donated" i will try one of the other projects you've taught.
    Do you have any suggestions for where to look for wire rod hinges? I was thinking dividing in thirds and rolling the ss sheet wings in opposite directions.
    Thank you again for taking the time to produce, film edit and upload these lessons, again from across the pond another limey 🇬🇧

      We buy hinges in 5 foot stock. It's sold as piano hinge in our area. I'm glad you found value in our lesson. If you make something from our lessons, send us a pic. Sheetmetalisfun@yahoo.com

  • @MikelNaUsaCom

    any ideas on getting stock to play around with in the home shop? would playing around with flashing do the trick? is there an economical way to purchase cold rolled steel sheet metal for small home projects?

    • @kengodfrey1956
      @kengodfrey1956  10 месяцев назад +2

      Roofers who do tile always have sheet metal remnants. Tile pan, roof to wall, valley flashing all are very wide. A/C heat contractors always have scrap. Find a local contractor and make a friend. I've always got drop off to give away. A steel supplier is the best place for new sheets. Their prices are way better than a hardware store. We use mostly 26 or 24 gauge. Let me know what you come up with. Thanks

      I was looking around at what I had just sitting in my garage and I noticed a bunch of tin cans and soda cans... wondering if I can cut those into a few small sheets just to practice... soda cans are thin, but for a cheep way to practice on a very small scale, they are definitely cheap. will continue to explore.

      @MikelNaUsaCom if you have a metal recycling place in your area, sometimes they will sell you material at scrap prices.

    Would it be similar for a rectangle to round?

    • @kengodfrey1956
      @kengodfrey1956  10 месяцев назад

      Same process for the layout. If the round is centered on the rectangle, you will have four true length lines. I usually put the seam on the short side of the rectangle . It makes the forming and assembly easier. Let me know if that answers your question. Give it shot. I think you got it . Thanks
