I created this video with the YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)
These are some of the tools that I use to cut sheet metal. These are all affordable and versatile. For the home shop any one of these would be sufficient for…
George, thanks for this video. I needed to cut a piece of sheet metal
under my dishwasher and I already have the tin snips to do it. You saved
me some money.
what’s the tool called ,dude???/ we have some equipment for sheet metal
fabrication,too…i will send my video example, so you can check it
out..thanks..
Thanks for the comment on sheet metal cutting tools. Noticed your
“1964chevy626”. Back in 1957 I had a 54 chevy. I can’t remember whether it
was two door or four door. I do remember it was a good tight car.
For armor, I’d suggest doing a search for, “How To Make Armour?”. Or “how
to make armor DIY”. There are web sites and YouTube videos dedicated to
your subject. Much better information than I can offer.
Thanks! Sometimes people have trouble finding sheet metal. The older
computer cases were made of some quality sheet metal. Old or broken
appliances are another source for sheet metal.
That Lang nibbler looks like a great cutting tool. Thanks for the video, it
is the first time I have seen one of those. I couldn’t find a price If they
are reasonably priced it is a perfect tool for the home shop.
Yes, I currently own a 1954 Chevy 2dr belair. I searched YouTube for metal
working tips. I’m working some sheet metal on my car I have a quick video
on YouTube if your interested on what it looks like.
your name is very close to george jones
Thanks for the video, I learned a lot.

George, any idea how to curl sheet metal? I’m running 1/8″ diameter rod
through it and connecting two pieces to make something like a piano hinge.

That’s great! Nothing better than having your own shop where you can make
stuff.
I’m looking to make a replica piece of medieval armor. What tools do you
recommend for cutting, welding, and shaping the steel?
Great tool advice! There is also unishears you can use, maybe I can get a
video up on how to use those as well!
Great Information Great mellow voice-perfect mix of confidence without
arrogance- Man I would take class from you!

Came here with a need to cut a single piece of metal, left with a desire to
build my own workshop. Great stuff, thanks!

That’s a sweet looking 54.
I think the original ones are Turner Nibbler but I found a clone on Amazon
for around $40…
Excellent use of an old computer case cover.
I was wondering if you could give me some input on a air nibbler for making
cuts on 18 gauge sheet metal.
Thanks for the comment. Yes, that shear is a classic. I too love tools.
Unfortunately I am running out of room for adding many more tools.
Thanks for the kind comment. I do do some relaxation audio but
unfortunately I can’t put a link in a YouTube reply.
Thanks for the information.

I’ve been collecting sheet metal (ask my wife…) and have used it in a few
projects. Good tip using old computer cases.
