    Default OMG !

    It's amazing what you can do with a piece of tin, a cold chisel, punch, anvil and hammer.

    That's ingenuity for you.

    Recon I'll stop complaining that I don't have a workshop.........

    Thank's for sharing.

    My Dad ( a tinsmith and sheetmetal worker) would have been proud of them

    and not a pop rivet in sight....and that seam lock with out the use of a dolly

    they are keeping a dying art alive...

    just imagine what they could make if they had a ruler snips, gillo, bender and rollers.
