Yesterday I was tasked with fabricating a 22 gauge support box with accommodation for a filter rack and cold air drop for a furnace. The box needed to be 16" tall, 20" wide and 48" in depth, equipped with a 16" x 20" filter rack and take-off for the 12" x 20" cold air down drop. The total fabrication took most of the morning, roughly three hours and I decided to tweet out some of the process. Below is the timeline of tweets.
