+Mick Doherty tool envy is the nice way to put it! :D. I wish I had snapon tools and a lift and...*muttering incoherently*. To be honest though my garage is way too small for a lift.
I have some Snap-On tools and some cheap tools. Decent cheap tools are not bad today. Like the Harbor Freight Professional line. The trick is find the stuff made in Taiwan. It is better than mainland China stuff.
I wanted to see your metal brake. I have making one of those on my to do list. I'm just not doing any metalwork right now. I'm doing something else lately. A while back I was doing a lot of metalwork and I decided to take a break from it.
Noises definitely help. Stubborn and broke is way more interesting than doing it "the right way." Anything is a hammer of you try hard enough. Keep up the great stuff! Define Your Legacy!
+Ncwg4 I have trouble shrinking steel with a hammer. It's possible, but not by me :(. Also I've read a book that suggests shrinking hammers suck. I haven't been able to use them successfully, but that doesn't mean much.
tbf learning to shape metal with steel seems quite hard. I had aluminium in school but outside of school aluminium is expensive. I also think my school spent too much on aluminium so we didn't have a metal brake either until my last two years, a piece of scrap wood and a hammer would have to do :)
Get a low or variable speed high torque drill that you can chuck to the input (handle end, remove handle) to drive the bead roller. A little practice pulling the drill motor trigger is still more steady than fighting the crank handle.
+Paul Frederick yeah they do, too bad they want a fortune for their forming dies... lazze has some good suggestions too, but his bead roller costs more than some cars!
+cwwraith quality tools are great! I think. I don't have any, so I wouldn't know lol. I do have a few nice wood working tools, they seem to be worth it.
Paul's Garage Just kidding. Good tools are great if you can have them. I have been gradually working on getting my shop fixed up. My Ryobi one collection has grown in the last year. Hopefully, I can start youtubing my projects. My forge is built and I just have to get it to mount to the waste oil burner. Propane gets expensive.
+Hobo Hacker I've heard that too, maybe you can answer a question then, when I'm not yet ready to paint what should I do to stop rust? Do I oil it and then clean it good with acetone before I do the prime/paint?
Right next to you was sockets... would’ve made it quicker to set the bead roller. Also put a marking on the top,roller so you can align it with your mark out lines and get consistent results 👍🏽
The line idea sounds great! The sockets don’t fit the bead roller, unfortunately. It’s square drive but sightly bigger than 1/4”, too small for 3/8. I’ll probably weld something on there
I saw a video where a guy put a skateboard wheel on the bottom roller and it was soft enough to roll a bead over the other beads without ruining them. I haven't tried it but he seemed to have good results.
I love your vids, but I had to laugh at you using a crescent wrench and scratching the paint when you have sockets literally within arm's reach. Keep it up. :)
Paul, finish this one project. It's nice out, your kid is going to want to play with it. Just finish this one damn project now. Don't be that guy that never finishes any projects.
+gplechuckiii I'm working on it! I should probably mention that progress on the jeep tends to be far ahead of progress editing. I recorded this one back when it was still cold, the next new video was recorded a couple weeks ago, etc... it actually looks like a jeep right now, not a pile of sheet metal, so no worries, the project is coming along even if the videos are slow.
Well I know you started this project back in the fall. Kids grow up fast so you gotta do projects for them, or with them, quickly. I always help friends who are doing projects for there kids for just that reason.
+gplechuckiii I agree, time is limited with kids projects. That's partly why I'm so far behind on videos for the jeep. I think this one was recorded in march. When I get time to work on something, building jeep has won out over editing jeep video, and now I have a backlog to edit. If you don't mind spoilers, the front of the jeep is basically done right now except the grill and hood, and the front is the major part of this since the rear is just panels stuck around the old jeep shell.
That would be great. I have some DC motors that would work, and i hear a drive mechanism is going to be released this summer for it. Lots of options there
been looking intoo it further and the wipermotor , window motor might not have the oompf , seen a conversion video on youtube , the guy used a x drive unit for a mill and that couldnt drive the beadroller , that thing is a LOT stronger , he ended up using a 6 to one reductionbox and a electric drill ua-cam.com/video/Ra2-A-IuT-Q/v-deo.html this one seems to be the most thought out conversion sofar , realy like the quick release on it
+whoeveriam0iam14222 no kidding! There are fender rolling dies that do it in one or two passes (and do a better job), but I don't have them. You can do a lot with bead rollers, but the dies aren't cheap.
Big fan in Scotland i like to watch these dont stop metal foundry stuff is quality if you post a new vid can you try chromed brass im curious to see what the result is i have my own foundry i just need my gas and burner and keal wool cant wait to get fired up Big Davy from Scotland says hi
+David Robinson hi Davi! I have a little chromed brass in my pluming brass pile. I think chromed brass is actually zinc plated brass. Don't know for sure, but I would suspect the zinc plating would met and evaporate off in a cloud of poisonous white smoke before the brass melted. Zinc has a lower boiling point than brass's melting point. The smoke would continue as the zinc mixed in the brass would continue burning off. Brass is dangerous, be careful!
Plating processes often employ an intermediate plating of zinc because chrome doesn't stick to everything. There are videos on plating if you're curious enough to look.
you dude have got ideas that work now I just have to figure out how to do it myself in my projects ......"cue mushroom cloud" maybe I should have thought that thru and not try to create backyard fusion rocket......I appear to have vaporized the mountains and town that happened to all be having a vacation on the same day in the direction of the nozzle......oops note to self don't try to fuse 58 pounds of the fusion fuel in one second perhaps an ounce a minute will do
+Not Tayyeb I thought I did, but I couldn't find it in editing. It's possible it was at the edge of a shot and I just didn't point the camera correctly to see it. This is a new camera and I haven't worked out all the quirks yet.
Paul's Garage New camera eh? Looks like you're taking this UA-cam schtick seriously, and good on ya! Should check your business email to see if there's any networks reaching out to you, or any other goodies... ;)
+Jake Parker I don't know, there might be some electrical problems you can fix with a hammer. A stuck relay, for example. Of course a stuck relay will stick again... maybe you're right lol
i don't know, my bead roller and shrinker/stretcher together were less than $300. I think you underestimate just how "made in China" these really are! I think Lazze makes a bead roller that's like 3.5 challenge budgets in price, there's an expensive tool!
The opposite of snobbery is jealousy, isn't it? WHAT did I do with that dictionary of opposites? The "hammer" in the song was actually a gavel (..."the hammer of Justice"...). It's a liberal agenda song.
DIdn't know that about the hammer in the song. I'm not sure if snobbery and jealousy are opposites, probably more complicated than that. People can be snobbish without other people being jealous, and people can be jealous without anybody being snobby. Then again i'm no psychologist, so i may just be typing meaningless words right now.
Paul. Watched this laughing my head off at your tool rant! Sounds like a severe dose of tool envy! 🤑😀 Keep building stuff and making great video! 😀👍👌
+Mick Doherty tool envy is the nice way to put it! :D. I wish I had snapon tools and a lift and...*muttering incoherently*. To be honest though my garage is way too small for a lift.
I have some Snap-On tools and some cheap tools. Decent cheap tools are not bad today. Like the Harbor Freight Professional line. The trick is find the stuff made in Taiwan. It is better than mainland China stuff.
It is coming together nicely I look forward to seeing more.
+powers2440 you should see what it looks like now! I'm pretty far behind on editing, much progress has happened since I recorded this.
I wanted to see your metal brake. I have making one of those on my to do list. I'm just not doing any metalwork right now. I'm doing something else lately. A while back I was doing a lot of metalwork and I decided to take a break from it.
This is so cool! Coming together well. Looking forward to more.
+Let There Be Rock thanks! More is coming. Soon.
Paul great work in this one, as usual you inspire me, keep it up.
+Wood-N-Metal Workshop ` thank you, good sir
James May is indeed awesome.
Noises definitely help. Stubborn and broke is way more interesting than doing it "the right way." Anything is a hammer of you try hard enough. Keep up the great stuff! Define Your Legacy!
+Warped Legacy the problem is "the right way" involves expensive tools! I need to do it the cheap way. Far more fun.
Thanks for mentioning Dad in your video! The last name is pronounced exactly the way it's spelt. Keep up the good work!
+Lauren Shymanski thanks! So I wasn't too far off on the pronunciation?
Any tool more advanced than a hammer is a luxury as the hammer can solve 99.9999999% of all metalworking problems.
+Ncwg4 I have trouble shrinking steel with a hammer. It's possible, but not by me :(. Also I've read a book that suggests shrinking hammers suck. I haven't been able to use them successfully, but that doesn't mean much.

"That is Future Me's Problem" should be on a t-shirt.
Get a low or variable speed high torque drill that you can chuck to the input (handle end, remove handle) to drive the bead roller. A little practice pulling the drill motor trigger is still more steady than fighting the crank handle.
that's a really good idea. i bet i could make the trigger into a foot pedal or something, too...
Eastwood has some good tips about using a bead roller.
+Paul Frederick yeah they do, too bad they want a fortune for their forming dies... lazze has some good suggestions too, but his bead roller costs more than some cars!
Once again, I'm not disappointed with your ability to craft things in a similar fashion as myself. Quality tools are overrated, anyways. lmao
+cwwraith quality tools are great! I think. I don't have any, so I wouldn't know lol. I do have a few nice wood working tools, they seem to be worth it.

Hopefully, I can start youtubing my projects. My forge is built and I just have to get it to mount to the waste oil burner. Propane gets expensive.
Primer will actually cause more rust. Its JOB is to absorb. Prime & paint, or just a light oil until ready to paint.
+Hobo Hacker I've heard that too, maybe you can answer a question then, when I'm not yet ready to paint what should I do to stop rust? Do I oil it and then clean it good with acetone before I do the prime/paint?

Paul's Garage ... time to buy some metric tools then ;)
I saw a video where a guy put a skateboard wheel on the bottom roller and it was soft enough to roll a bead over the other beads without ruining them. I haven't tried it but he seemed to have good results.
you almost motivated me too go build something.
maybe tomorrow.
+Sean Hirsch rats, so close! One of these days I'll motivate someone to build something :D
that's was the coolest feeling having you mention my name on line. come to Texas and we will melt some copper in the Texas heat and humidity.
Looks good to me!, glue it on the jeep a little paint give him the keys, dark sunglasses and a taillight warranty lol ; ] another great video
+andy wilson a tail light warranty sounds great, there are no working tail lights! I guess that means they will never break, right?
great video paul
+Taite Lennox thanks!
your welcome
I hope your going well
I love your vids, but I had to laugh at you using a crescent wrench and scratching the paint when you have sockets literally within arm's reach. Keep it up. :)

The poor cat!!!! Don't use cats as sandpaper, use them as hats!😂
+Lauren Shymanski my cat would not appreciate being used as a hat! Neither would my neck, the cat is a bit overweight...
mi9ght be a nice project to built a geared down electric motor and foot switch for the beadroller , would give you two hands to guide the metal
That would be great. I have some DC motors that would work, and i hear a drive mechanism is going to be released this summer for it. Lots of options there
been looking intoo it further and the wipermotor , window motor might not have the oompf , seen a conversion video on youtube , the guy used a x drive unit for a mill and that couldnt drive the beadroller , that thing is a LOT stronger , he ended up using a 6 to one reductionbox and a electric drill
ua-cam.com/video/Ra2-A-IuT-Q/v-deo.html
this one seems to be the most thought out conversion sofar , realy like the quick release on it
that beadroller is an expensive guideline machine if you're still working on it afterwards
+whoeveriam0iam14222 no kidding! There are fender rolling dies that do it in one or two passes (and do a better job), but I don't have them. You can do a lot with bead rollers, but the dies aren't cheap.

Cooooool
what bench vice do you use paul?
+Taite Lennox don't know, it was in the garage when I moved it. It's not real good or anything, but it was free.
free means good

01:45 Ruffles, the Z being . . . Aerodynamic?
Why you dont make some permanent solution for that tighting screw. Btw my english is bad...
+mxkko I plan on a few upgrades to this bead roller before too long. Haven't decided exactly what yet, but something.
you dude have got ideas that work
now I just have to figure out how to do it myself in my projects
......"cue mushroom cloud" maybe I should have thought that thru and not try to create backyard fusion rocket......I appear to have vaporized the mountains and town that happened to all be having a vacation on the same day in the direction of the nozzle......oops

its a joke
+sonicxfan83 lol if you blow anything up don't tel them I gave you the idea!
deal
Stick with the foundry videos they are way cooler and you get like 5,000 more views with each one
+cale mickelson I wish I could do more foundry stuff, but it won't stop raining!!! It's really frustrating. D:
Also, the text at the end gets a lil' covered by the next video suggestion thingy....... UA-cam trying to silence you!? REVOLT!
+Not Tayyeb yeah I saw that, unfortunately by then the video was rendered and uploaded :(. I'll fix it for next time. Maybe.
I'm disappointed. Your phone isn't sat in a painful-to-see place like it normally is :(
+Not Tayyeb I thought I did, but I couldn't find it in editing. It's possible it was at the edge of a shot and I just didn't point the camera correctly to see it. This is a new camera and I haven't worked out all the quirks yet.

If you can't fix it with a hammer you have an electrical problem.
+Jake Parker I don't know, there might be some electrical problems you can fix with a hammer. A stuck relay, for example. Of course a stuck relay will stick again... maybe you're right lol
I paid $400 for the Daytona and $300 for the van so to me even the chinese tools cost as much as a used car.
i don't know, my bead roller and shrinker/stretcher together were less than $300. I think you underestimate just how "made in China" these really are! I think Lazze makes a bead roller that's like 3.5 challenge budgets in price, there's an expensive tool!
