Sheetmetal fabrication is a necessary skill in the HVAC trade. In this video I show how I custom fabricate a sheetmetal supply plenum for a Goodman air handler with basic hand tools (I’m using Malco tools). There are several ways to go about this process, this is just one way. A pro tip is using a window screen roller tool to create the cross brakes in each side of the plenum box. Hope you enjoy the video, LEST’S DO SOME WORK!!
