Brand new to the H.A.M.B. I found the beadrolling thread from the beadrolling group on Facebook. Some of my work.

I'm new to this bead rolling. I got mine to do floor panels; but the other day I tried to do some art stuff. Is there some instructcnals available some where? Or do I just keep practicing till I figure it out?

 

Jamey Jordan has a couple of DVDs out that are excellent beginning instruction. YouTube has some videos also but, nothing beats seat time with a beadroller.

Getting ready to beadroll a headliner for my sleeper for my COE . This was a sample of what will be in the center I did on a scrap of 18ga . The center will have a light the same size as the circle . The headliner will be done with 3003 Al. .063 h 14 .

 

Been cold in Texas , so I beadrolled a side panel for my welding cart and a seat front and back for a bucket I’m making for my stool .

 

Hey Guys, I know this isnt an artsy pic but can anyone tell me what the hell went wrong here ? I wanted to put a nice bell shaped flair on the end of this 4"aluminum tubing. I figured I would put the stop at the edge of the roller gently zip around with multiple passes increasing pressure and I was golden . Nope.... it distorted the tube. it's 16 ga so I know its thick. Why didn't this work ??

 

I don't know, but you do some nice work.

 

I think you were trying to get more than the die was designed for, for one thing. You, for sure, overtightened it. A spoiler die would maybe do this.

 

I used a spoiler die. As far as overtightening it, I would agree however because of material thickness, it was the only way to get it to move! I DID start gently and gradually tightened it. Probably, the answer lies in the thickness! Thanks for responding !

 

Hey Scott
Sure miss your posts here, what have you been up to.
Current build(s)?

 

409 61 is next .... typical Scott car.....I lowered it !!

 

My first car was a 61 Impala, 348/3 speed.
When ya can, some (HAMB Kosher) build shots would be neat.

 

other than the "flys" I think its all legal!

 

Holy crap!! Just found this thread and I am impressed to say the least. I need to make me a guide so I can do a straight line!

 

This is the first bomber seat I have ever made. I never did pleats before, never did solid rivets before either. I don't have a brake or a sheer. This is about as close to handmade as you can probably get. It's not done but it is for now.
