Custom bead rolling....lotsa pic's

This thread is amazing, truly inspirational. I'm going to buy a Mittler Bros. bead roller right after Christmas is over to do the trunk floor in my Falcon, I'd give any thing to learn this art.

 

NCJAMEY, Your work looks fantastic.

 

Nicely done ncjamey.

Paco

 

great stuff

 

i cant even make a straght line with my bead roller

 

Arm with shifter is my favorite. Love it!

 

Thanks guys... i am just a product of Kiwi Kev. He is the one that made me want to learn this craft... This one isnt really Hamb related but i figured i would hare it anyways.

 

Great work. How long have you been doing bead rolling? Your designs are complex and yet you make the finished artwork look perfect. It can´t be easy, or a quick process?

To Everyone on this thread that is posting their art, I am inspired and encouraged by your efforts...Thanks.

 

This thread is insane, Kev, has more talent in his little finger than most. I love that louver press and Kev's modest attitude about his talents. It was a pleasure to shake his hand at the H.A.M.B drags when the California Caravan thrilled us with the trio of awesome racers. ~sololobo~

 

NCJAMEY, Which hall at SEMA were you set up at? I thought that I walked every isle there. Can not believe that I missed your work. Would have loved to have seen a live demo.

 

Some of that (kiwi) talent may have rubbed off with the handshake.
Have a go and see ...

 

I beadrolled this one on Christmas Eve... its a image of Sitting Bull.

 

I beadrolled this one last week.. Its a Japanese Hannya mask...

 

I have read this thread with great interest. I need to roll some shapes, nothing like the artwork shown here but I am interested in the profile of the rollers you guys are using to create a raised (or lowered) area in a panel. especially around a tight turn. I want to make a die set for this.

thanks
Randy

One has to admire good ole "Made In the USA" by a talented American!
