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

and go straight to magnetic brake.

Here are some of my pieces. Made with home made machine and dies.

And there's something else on the forum that I'm jealous of...... Great job! You're a talented man.

Thanks Josh,

Like I told, been doing a lot of this. But had a long pause.

Now been doing more. Here is some of the latest.


Wheel tub wall to my "Project Plan Bee"



3 step and half of the round edge. Other half is in tub side. Seam in the middle of the radius.



Sing to my friends HD.



Birthday presents





Just need to practice and repeat.

I will start posting about my Plan bee when I got more done.

Jeff-

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

Very nice work. You need to be doing your own how to videos on YouTube and making some money on them. :-)
