Beadroller Build (Turned into sheetmetal work thread)

[BadDog]

Fantastic looking product. They show a lot of talent, and I think you/they will do very well.

I believe I recall seeing that you are doing these on annealed aluminum sheet. I've done some simpler projects in steel (18-20ga IIRC) and got adequate results but by no means anything to compare with yours. Maybe I should try aluminum, or get (build) a better roller, or maybe it's just my ham fisted lack of skill.

Now I'm gonna have to go through that WHOLE DAMN BUILD THREAD to figure out what you guys are talking about.

The pirate build thread is much shorter.... Hehe.

I believe that episode happened last during last winter's fab season. No idea which page that is, but that should give you a timeframe.

But then you'd miss all the commentary!

Send me a pm w/ a price for the Willy G skull w/ the riveted frame shipped to 08046. I think my local dealer might want it.

Now that I have a solid stock of stuff to bring to the show, even though some are boring. Now I can start doing some more intricate stuff

 

[ryoken]

are you gonna print out stuff for the "parking" sign's on site?

I don't really want to haul the printer and a computer down. I'm just gonna print generic fonts of brands out to avoid copyright issues. Try to just bring a ton, or I can always do a custom order later and send sticker or mail panel.

 

[Big Ray]

Make some "Chevy parking only" and "Ford parking only" signs. Brand loyalty sells...


EDIT: Ignore me, I see what you're doing...doh!

 

[Deuling]

I went a little nutzzz tonight...

"Gone?" Yes, you did go insane, but it wasn't recently.

Thanks lol.


So I was going to put money I make into a magnetic brake from Baileigh, but after hearing some negative comments about it, I think I will hold off for a bit...

Instead, I will hopefully be ordering up one of these Monsters. 36 inches of throat depth, variable speed industrial motor, 14ga alum crushing capacity Made In the USA Awesomeness!!!

You'd rather have another roller than a brake? What about 3D wonderfulness?
