More shiny things

Though we've hit a snag with an electrical problem and that has slowed us down, Mike has done a bit more work on installing the air conditioner ducting. One thing he did was to make a flange from flat metal. To him it was no big deal but I was impressed. On one level I see it as similar to a sewing project. On another level, it's big shiny METAL! There are a couple of things to notice besides the nifty flange. First, the tongue is a necessary part of the body when doing this sort of work. Second, probably the best part about this project to Mike was the fact that it was being done with his dad's tin snips, rescued this year from tools his mom saved. So though the air conditioners are yet to come, there is some progress.

He started with just this.

Dad Edens' tin snips

The tongue MUST be in good working order!

Nifty flange, huh?
