SheetmetalMechanic (This is a federal job)
Supervisor: Donald Miller (Retired)
Through my knowledge,skill and ability, as a journeyman Sheetmetal Mechanic,Iconstructed
and installed various simple and complexsheetmetal items and systems per Sheetmetal
Industry standards,bylaying out and devising complextemplates.Through the calculation of
true lengths in the process ofradial line and parallel line developmentIdevised these items for
use in tasks performed and I used a variety of equipment,hand and power tools for these duties
such as:sliproll forming machines,Pittsburgh lock formers,edge rolling machines,power
shears,jump shears,hand and power brakes,crimp roller machines,welders,spotwelders,
bench grinders and sanders,power band saws,finger brakes,drive machines,manual hand
rollers,metal dividers,protractors,metal scribes,trammel points,double cutshears,metal hand
shears,aviation snips,metal hammers,rotary hammer drills,sawzalls,metal jigsaws,
pnuematic air tools,steel rules,plumb bobs,hand tongs and vise tongs,pliers,etc.
One aspectof the Sheetmetal work I performed was replacing the copper roofs on the Russell
and Dirksen Senate Office Buildings.I n this process Idemolished the old copper roof panels by
cutting out a 20 ft. x 20 ft. section,safely using grinders,metal snps and roofing s hovels to
extract the old roof. After removing the loose debris,I would applyroof sealantprimer with a
roller and lay down 3 ft. sheets of Bituthene ice shielding.Following thatstep I would lay down
30 lb. roofing felt also in 3 ft. strips starting at the lowestpointand proceeding upward,applying
roofing cementon the edges of the felt in an overlapping pattern to produce a watertightseal.
The next step was to lay down red resin paper and strike chalk lines in a pattern for the
anchoring ofthe new copper roof panels.These roofpanels were fabricated by cutting 24'x 18'
pieces ogfcopper and forming 1/2' lock edges upward on two adjacentsides and forming 1/2'
downward on the opposite sides,then cleating these panels down at4 to 6 inches apartwith 1'
nail down anchors,safellyusing a rotary hammer drill and sheetmetal hammer to drill anchor
holes and drive down these nail in anchors.Once the firstcopper panel was installed,the
process is repeated into rows until the entire demolished area is completed.This process would
be completed for the entire renovation of the roof.
Some other tasks I performed was the fabrication and installation ofsheetmetal ductwork.This
entailed the calculating of the stretchoutof sheetmetal to be used with allowances for
connections.After the stretchout of metal was calculated,I sheared the sheetmetal into the
calculated sizes and quantities needed.Then,using a metal scribe I would mark outthe metal
to form the desired pattern and proceed to cut out this pattern with allowance scribed outfor
Pittsburgh lock edges and slip/drive edges.

Project Manager/ Sketcher
Supervisor: Howard Sherman (Retired)
As Sketcher/Project Manager for CMC Inc., I managed multimillion dollar sheetmetal ductwork
projects.These projects required reading and interpreting job scopes,job specifications,and
coordinating with estimators from CMC Inc., to establish construction,fabrication,installation
and manpower schedules,for the successful completion ofthese projects.This required my
drafting of working shop drawings from Structural,Architectural, and Mechanical Engineering
drawings.Icoordinated meetings between the projectEngineers and associated trades,such
as:General contractor, Plumbing,Electrical,Sprinkler Projectmanagers to overlay each trades
working drawings,so as to manufacture and install the ductwork required for the projects to be

constructed to meettimeframes and budgetaryconstraints.In addition,I was required to
formulate,with the help from job foremans the daily work schedules,weeklyprojectupdate
reports,and scheduling on-site deliveries ofmaterials and equipment.
In the drafting of Sheetmetal working drawings,first,I would be guided by the Structural
Engineering drawings and draftcolumn lines with column sizes,along with adjoining drop pads,
when shown,and the structural beams required for each floor, including Mechanical rooms and
rooftops.I would then transpose,through drafting techniques and equipment,such as:drafting
squares,triangles,and other such devises to draft all walls and corridors shown on the
Architectural Engineers drawings. After these layouts were drawn, I would proceed to draw the
ductwork layout of the project, on a floor by floor basis,from the Mechanical Engineering
drawings,tying down the ductwork off of the column lines and through calculating the heights
off each floor, showing the elevations ofthe ductwork paths,to ensure the installation ofthe
ductwork would be clear of obstructions with other trades piping or equipment.These final
Sheetmetal working drawings were then submitted to the Project's Mechanical Engineer's for
approval.
One example where my professional skill and knowledge was instrumental,was a projectat the
Fairfax County Government Center where a complicated ductwork design was to be fabicated
and installed in the Mechanical Penthouse.The ductwork for this Mechanical Penthouse was a
multi-tiered design,spread outon a 11 1/2 degree splitcircumference,which required precise
calculations to accomodate the varying ductwork layers,so as to transition these ducts to the
variously located Air Handling Units,Fans,and Outside Air Louvers.Thid design required thatI
draw special sectional drawings ofthe ductwork paths to ensure the successful transition
through the Mechanical Penthouse,avoiding structural beams,columns and drop pads,along
with avoiding other trades piping and equipmentto ensure unobstructed connections to these
Air Handling Units,Fans and Outside Air Louvers.

Project Manager/Sketcher
Supervisor: Robert Mercilliot(Retired)
I successfullyserved my four year Sheetmetal Apprenticeship atStromberg Sheetmetal Works,
Inc., and I worked staring from an apprentice to a sheetmetal mechanic,then to a
sketcher/projectmanager,laying out and constructing simple and complexsheetmetal items
and systems.Some examples were straightductwork ofvarious sizes and lengths,complicated
curved ogee-type and ess-type ductwork fittings,square-to-rounds,conical taps,cones,etc.I
used radial line and parallel line pattern developmentto lay out and constructthe previously
mentioned sheetmetal fittings.The process requires the use ofspecial tools such as:dividers,
metal scribes and metal rules,trammel points,to setup a pattern and scribe out,from true
length templates,the various increments ofthe round radii, to precise tolerances and effectthe
exact sizing of the square-to-rounds,conical fittings,and cones,etc.I also used these pattern
developmentprocesses to lay out and constructroofing sheetmetal items such as:copper and
galvanized goosenecks,louvered penthouses,gutters and roofscuppers.
In my second year as a Sheetmetal Apprentice I was promoted to the Sketcher/ Project
Manager position,due to my rapid advancementof knowledge and abilityin the Sheetmetal
field. As a Sketcher/ Project Manager, I was responsible for reading and interpreting Structural,
Architectural, and Mechanical Engineering drawings,Job Scopes,and Job Specifications to
draft working Sheetmetal drawings.I coordinated these working drawings with the other
Mechanical trades such as Plumbing,Sprinkler,Steamfitting,Fire Protection and Electrical
along with the General Contractor of the projects.After coordination with these trades,Iwas
responsible for the submission ofthe Sheetmetal working drawings to the Project Engineers for
approval. I had the responsibilityfor formulating dailywork schedules,weeklyprojectprogress
update reports,and scheduling the on-site deliveries ofmaterials and equipmentwith the
assistance ofjob foremen.I oversaw the progress ofthese projects and made
recommendations to foremen to help us meetthe fast track time and budgetary constraints of
these projects,while working well under pressure to attain these goals.

One example of a complicated projectsituation which Iwas involved was when our Project
Foreman of the EmbassySuites Projectwas severely injured during his tour of duty. I was
summoned to manage dayto day field operations including myown duties,and supervise the
installation ofthe ductwork from the sheetmetal working drawings Ihad drafted. I assumed all
the daily managementduties ofthis projectplus the added workload ofmy other two projects
while working at the EmbassySuites project.This required working directlywith the sheetmetal
mechanics to problem solve the day to day decisions ofthe projectwhile providing detailed
layout drawings such as ductwork penetration details tying down measurements offcolumn
lines.
