Custom bead rolling....lotsa pic's

I would just like to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread. The talent here is awesome and it encouraged me to try something myself.
Here is the first panel I have bead rolled.



Scale-the panel is rough cut at just over 36" long by 8" fore to aft. Each square is 1 3/16".





This panel was done on my manual, stiffened frame, HF bead roller.

 

Wicked job for first time out. Actually... better than a can still manage! nicely done... How did you cross it up, skateboard wheel?

 

Looks great! I bet it tried to become a pretzel/potato chip while you were running it thru .

 

nice work

 

Thanks guys.

I used one of the shearing dies from the HF set and bought a piece of rubber hose that fit over the body of the die, than a tipping wheel on top.

DaTinman-

Yes it twisted pretty bad, but some tuck shrinking on the surrounding flange straightened that out.

 

Let's see some more!
