I don't have, nor have I ever used, a bead roller - but I KNOW it's not nearly as simple as the people that can do it, make it look. I remember the tailgate for the Craftsman truck that was made at The RS... and thinking WOW!! That dude has some serious skills 'cause I can't even figure out how he made that thing!!

can't learn if you don't try. Some people are just naturals and others have to be shown. You should know this man.
Reminds me of when I was young. I love fish so I decided to build a boat. My dad wouldn't help so I bought some wood, tar, nails and rope. 3 weeks later I drug that thing out to the lake down by the golf course. Put it in the water and that sucker sank faster than I could say "crap". Lessons learned that day, too much tar and too many gaps makes a bad boat. I figured it made a nice habitat for the local fish in the lake. Did I mention that I like fish?
