    Don't compare yourself to anyone, you keep at it, and i told you that slip roller would work. bailing wire or coat hanger any thin wire will work.. its getting filler over it so it don't need to be perfect. if its too thin cut it out to solid metal you have a whole sheet. your doing real good.

    Chris it will do 18 go slowly with it dont try to do the complete roll one shot, you may need to feed it through and tighten it a little bit each time. my last comment got deleted not sure why? another youtuber with the same exact roller did 1.2 mm stainless it worked fine.. and I would suggest grease the drive gears and the little bushings on the top roller just a bit, and dont make a longer handle Im sure it will strip the drive gears.. all this just a suggestion of course its yours do as you please. if its compound bend feed it in on a slight angle. keep messing with it you will get it.
