Proper sheet metal work can be a real work of art but can also take a long time to learn to do right. I have seen some simpler techniques, like riveting a light angle to a rib or bulkhead rather than trying to form a reinforcing bead or the use of a rubber mallet over a form instead of something more sophisticated. Does anyone have an specific example to share of simplified sheet metal techniques suitable for the dextrously challenged? Cheers, Matthew
