I have a garage full of misfires?.  I guess I should post those too!

Absolutely not. It would set a bad precedent. There are many of us who's first attempt(s) at a project goes.... ummm.... unmentioned.   LOL

Haha - good point for sure !

The bead roller started out as a Princess Auto (Harbor Freight basically) special.   It was junk.  I kept the dies and started over.  Gears are from Boston Gear, Motor was pulled from an electric hoist.  It was a fun project on it’s own!

Well nice work on that bead roller, and nice work on applying the tools you have as well. The metal work that you have been doing is great. Way beyond my pay grade.

I made a little press brake I use on the hydraulic press... Does that count for anything?   LOL

Hey Captain - the mini brake is fantastic!  I will be copying that!  Plenty of times that I need a 4 inch piece and cand be bothered to drag out the 4 ft bender.

Making tools is fun - it could become a whole separate (probably expensive) hobby for me.
