Beadroller Build (Turned into sheetmetal work thread)
- Thread starter Deuling
- Start date
Dammit, I didnt post that one did I? Lol.
Glad you like it dude. Post a pic if you add some color to it.
You work fast, man!
I have been making some deals with The Flash recently. I beadroll for him, he teaches me how to work at super sonic paces... It's a pretty sweet deal.
Sounds like it.
$600 worth of aluminum sheet showed up on Friday after I got out of work.
They only sheared half of it in half like I had requested, so I had to cut the rest in half myself which was fun...
But now the rack is loaded up with all of my sheet and im loving it. Easy to see whats in there from the side, and it actually still rolls around pretty good. I cut up the cardboard that the aluminum came in to make dividers to help prevent scratches.
And now that I had big enough material, I got started on the 57 Chevy door panels. Luckily I went over to the guys house to put my template on his doors, and im glad I did, as the door has alot of holes in it that could have really screwed me for hole placement on these.
These things are HUGE.

Do you get a discount since they hosed you on the shearing
They delivered it to me.
That cart is a nice addition. Organization is huge. Nice works of works.
Yeah I can already see the benefit from just having it all stacked against the wall before. But it won't take up much room either which is nice.
It's gonna need bigger castors before I put too much more on I think. But free works for now.
How much weight are those rated for right now?
Lol, gotcha.Freethousand lbs....
I have no idea...
The ones under my fab bench are rated at 1200 lbs each and are super excellent. They also cost me $65 each though...
That's a bit pricey, but having a nice set is totally worth it. I hate ghetto wheels that don't roll for crap.
Only $260 for something you will use in this business every day for the foreseeable future? Seems like an easy sell to me.
Only takes a few minutes to cut the welds on the current ones and put new ones on later.
$17k in tools and materials since this time last year. Free 99 isn't terrible here or there.
