Sheet Metal Brake and other forming tools for body work

Krooser said

I think there are still a few videos on youtube on how to reinforce those Chi-Com bead rollers to make them useful. As-is they seem to flex and bend and don't make the nicest of beads but they kinda work.

I have one at home that I haven't modified... not sure I will get the time.

I saw a couple of those videos when I was contemplating making a roller. I'll see how it goes but I have plenty of plate to either reinforce or make a new body.

Just picked up a cheap English wheel off Ebay that was on sale. It's a little on the small side and the reviews were not very good but I consider anything like that a kit that needs adjustment or modification. I think it was worth the $140 if the rollers are worth a crap and I can learn on it. Should have a chance to try it later in the week.
