It can serve as a useful training tool and reference for students, apprentices, and professionals in the trade. It also blends basic principles with contemporary tools and technology. The text is written concisely with large, two-color illustrations used to emphasize key points.
The first six chapters provide an introduction to safety, tools, machinery, materials, and fasteners used in the sheet metal trade. The next six chapters cover cutting, forming, and joining methods. Chapters 13 through 17 cover basic drafting principles and pattern development. Chapter 18 covers specification, layout, and fabrication of sheet metal used in the building trades. Chapter 19 covers the short method of pattern development.
Hands-on projects show and explain how to punch, drill, rivet, fold edges, make seams, turn burrs, raise, notch, crimp, bend, groove, solder, and cut.
