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..

One thing I really like when working with sheet metal is an air cutter. One
is made like a Y that just gouges out a continual spiral cut. Another
nibbles a little piece at a time. Another is like a pair of scissors on
steroids. Any way you go, power is king. Saber saws and circular saws with
metal blades are like juggling chain saws. Eventually something's going to
happen and it ain't going to be pretty. My last experience was two rows of
fourteen stitches each.
