Principles and methods of sheet-metal fabricating

[BIGMIKE09281946]

I am looking for another textbook gang. Sheet metal drafting is making my hair fall out, especially the transition piece. Any suggestions?

Sheet Metal Handbook by Ron Fournier.

 

Advanced Sheet Metal Fabrication by Timothy Remus.

 

Ultimate Sheet Metal Fabrication Book by Timothy Remus.

 

I'm sure all of these are available through Amazon.

ReMark's books are all excellent, years ago I did very extensive ductwork. Owned many books including the three above.

 

Try lookin' at www.thesheetmetalshop.com.

 

And, peek at the attached *.pdf file, transition layout.

The "bend" lines need not be far apart, the more hits (bends), the smoother the transition.

 

I used to ride the brake pedal, non-stop, many hits, close together, very smooth transition.

Perhaps a look at

Just what is working? Finding a good book?

Located a good book at Temple University in Philadelphia. Trouble was, that when I got there I found that the book was in archive. To celebrate this misfortune I went to have an Open MRI of my bad shoulders in the same great city. Trouble was, they tried to sell me on an MRI machine that sure as hell looked like a closed on. I'm a big man and my nose hairs were brushing the ceiling. So! No book, no MRI and 12 hours lost. Praise AutoCAD!!!
