Beadroller Build (Turned into sheetmetal work thread)

- Start date
You would think that with all of that raw talent, he could come up with a cool strap to replace the electrical tape and tip ties on his springs.
No those are Grade A hack and there’s no use in replacing them 
Badass work man. You've put in the time and it's paying off in spades.
Chicken barns, Bronco2, plumbing, opening random boxes and a stock Blazer with a big Diy4x sticker...
Hell of a ride Adam!
Dude I’m so spoiled now I don’t think I could do the chicken barn again hahaha.
You forgot the yoga mat and GrumpyCat and LEAF SPRINGS!
Nice work, Adam. Keep up the good work. Your story is an inspiration for the rest of us
Haha thanks dude! Hope you guys have been good and staying warm up north!
I didn’t forget, I could have added a big list but my skinny jeans were pinching my beer gut so I quit.
Bahahahaha that was a good one Deaner!!!
Thanks brotha!!! I think I’ll be putting in more and more time but hopefully i get to start picking and choosing the fun stuff instead of everything that rolls in...
We are doing well. Since we last met I have picked up a side hustle making aluminum weldments. Cut, bend, weld, etc. Not as showy as beadrolling, but it isn't as time-consuming, either. Thank you for making metalwork seem cool to people. You remind me of these memes making the rounds:
You should probably make some with your face on them...

Good stuff Adam. I went away for a while and missed all the good stuff happening here. Glad to see you are doing well.
Yeah that was hilarious, I know its loud and busy at PRI so I figured you wouldn't answer, so when I heard some noise and you were gone immediately I just figured you were busy and we would talk soon at the show. Little did I know at the time you had your phone up to snap a pic with Jesse James, ha ha.
Was good to see you again, your doing well, and ditch that sinus crap, hope you feel a lot better now.
Same here! Haven’t found much time to hold on other than every few months but I’ll try and be better with the updates!
Haha yup!
And same here! And I shannon had my antibiotics picked up when I got home late Friday so finally getting cleared up I think!!!
Thanks man! Been a lot of fun and I think we are onto something now that I’m selling my standard repeat products like the air racks and stuff on the 4xStore website.
Hopefully soon I won’t have to push those kinds of products and I can just get someone in the shop once a week to restock those parts while I work on the custom stuff.
Not sure if you guys have seen that or not but Rich and Swetty are kickin butt trying to get this site going.

I hope to add a bunch more stuff but just gotta get caught back up from being sick!
Yessir!! FoByStorrrrr!!!So Rich and Swetty are running a store now?
I had missed the memo.
i got 2 of the fire extinguisher brackets and the thread zert tabs great stuff
Oh sweet thanks dude!
I’d have put a bottle member in if I had remembered it was a ck5 guy lol
no worries I needed a good extinguisher bracket, one on the Manx buggy and the other for the Burb. Glad to support fellow CK5 and American manufacturing 
I put this in the PAD thread as my 25,000th post. But figured it’s better documented here. So enjoy
Alrighty boys and girls, settle in for a juicy little story.
For my 25,000th post I thought I’d do something special, and let you all in on a little something I’ve been holding in for like a year and a half now.
As some may have seen, my old best buddy Nate (MrClean papa smurf etc) and I haven’t been seen together in a few years. And I thought it might be worth bringing to your attention so you can see past the fake Internet personality and into the real side of someone you think you know.
But anyways, right after we finished the beamed raptor build almost 2 years ago, I was all of a sudden told I owed Nate $300 or so more on top of what he originally told me. I paid, no fighting, no complaining. Gave him what he asked.
Then Nate is silent in the Dunefest planning chat, not saying anything really and I ask him the day or 2 prior to the event what his problem is and he freaks out on me (not going to post the whole conversation here but you are more than welcome to ask me personally) and tells me what a shit friend I have been to him for not being there after the death of his buddy that he all of a sudden was great friends with again, even though the guy wasn’t even at Nate’s wedding.... (Kid put a needle full of heroin in his arm and overdosed, maybe I’m an ass but I watched my mom try to leave this planet due to depression when I was 11 years old, so Nate’s buddy voluntarily doing heroin brings zero remorse out of me....)
At this time I am in the middle of buying a house, buying a ring to ask Shannon to marry me on the day of signing for the house, finishing a raptor build and running my business while working a full time job. (Aka you need me, you better be blunt because I have zero free time)....
So whatever, I let things go, myself and Jesse run dunefest for the last 2 summers alone (Nate’s truck was even on the dunefest shirts the year he got mad at me).
I ask Nate about this time last year if I can get my welder, torches, and quad back, and even offered to let him wait and use it all until after his trip out west. I had planned on giving the welder to my buddy Ryan (kid that drove Nate’s wife to the parking lot at the dunes the dunefest day Nate crashed his bike and broke his ankle) and he holds my stuff saying I owe him rent, even though I let him borrow my tools so he could build his truck because Brett’s shop already has all of these tools and I didn’t need 2 Welders, 2 torch sets etc.... Nate even told me I could keep my quad at his place when I had nowhere to put it, and he never once asked me for rent or to come pick it up because it was in the way.
As you will see below, he changes his mind and I owe him money, I’m pissed at that point and out of angry sarcasm tell him to keep it and sell it to pay for his trip out west. And before he blocked me on every form of social media, Text etc, all he would do is send me back the text of me saying he can keep it when I tried to talk to him.
So there you go. Post 25,000. Deuling getting boned by the hippy

Nah I’d rather time just have him move away from here even farther than he has recently this year... It’s very awkward to be at the events I sponsor and am a vendor at lol.

Took me a few reads to figure out this post was not what I was expecting to read when I first clicked for an update. A shame when friendships break down. Free advice...so take it for what it’s worth... go talk to him face to face, maybe patch things up.
Fock Awkward! Do your own thing and be proud of it. You deserve it!
