I learned a really cool bead rolling trick at a metal shaping class here a few weeks back. When you really want to make sure your rolling is perfectly straight or you have an irregular shape you want to bead roll, cut yourself a template out of 1/2" wood and screw it to the panel. Now you have a guide to bead roll against.

Also if you an irregular shape or something with a lot of radius that you want to look really good like a 6" circle for example, you could cut a positive and a negative and make yourself a stamp. Drill a hole in the center and bolt them together for alignment and use a hammer or press to "stamp" your shape

Jeff-

Thought's I'd post this since it came in my email today....
