Trying to put the sheet metal roof on my camper. It has to be cut to
size with tin snips giving edges that could take your arm off. The
sabre saw does an even worse job. It'll be ok in the end but I hate
this stuff.
Boat building was much more fun..



Stop whining: find someone who knows how to handle sheet metal, and has
the tools to do the job properly and neatly. Since it is a "residential"
homeowner job, maybe you can find a retired member of the sheet metal
workers union, or another skilled tradesworker.

Call (850) 224-4440?, the Florida Building & Construction Trades Council,
for a local union number. The business agent should be able to send you
someone skilled.

I had a retiree come by, measure, and make in his home shop some copper
window box liners.


Of course you did...
