Love learning new things. The under sized lower bead is a very cool idea. More great info. Keep them coming.
I have learned alot from you also Tony and wanted to say thanks for the awesome Canadian content.
I’d like to see a collaboration video with Fitzee and Karl Fisher. I know you are on opposite sides of the country but it would be cool.
Love your vids too. You and Karl are my go to guys on youtube!!!
An open end wrench of the appropriate size also works for finishing the ends of your beads. Lay the wrench flat at the end of the bead and smack it with a hammer. Works great without building special tools:-)
Thanks for your videos. As Im from Sweden Lazze has been known since I was a teenager (55 today). Ive seen all his videos, but since I found your channel you are my ”go to”. I still grade Lazze and Ron as the best sheet metal guys out there but your videos gives me alot more. And you also seems like a great buy. Keep on doing what youre doing. Thanks from Skellefteå where we now have aprox -15 celsius and 10 cm of snow. 👍🏼🍻
Karl Thanks for taking us to school. You are a very good and solid teacher with your grasp of the subject and your clarity of explanation. The camera work is right on and Christine knows exactly where the eyes need to be focused, Thank you for keeping us old farts in the front row of class. Merry Christmas to you and your families. Thanks again
Charlie
Thanks very much Charles! Merry Christmas!
The hole punch to end the beads is a really nice idea. Thanks for sharing.
I took the die and turned it in the drill press and radiused the rollers edges with a flap wheel on a grinder so they don't dig in work amazing! I made my punch from a socket and extention.
Man, you are too kind for giving away the secret sauce on dies and keeping newbs from wasting their money. Too cool! I hope Santa brought you two some good health for your families and some good swap meet karma for parts buying!
Ha ha Ha swap meet Karma is my favourite thing to receive!
Always learning anytime i watch your videos and I'm not even a metal guy but still enjoy taking in the information you teach
An awesome use I've found for the steel flat bottom die is team it up with a top beading die and run over your lines with them first like a small English wheel and it pre-stretches the area and the reduces panel distortion and warping, have you tried louvre dies? I wonder if your gasket punch idea would work to clean the edges of them up too
Great vid Karl
Yeah that’s a really great idea! I have not tried louvre dies
I pnce had a math teacher like karl when he explained it it just made sense when karl exains things it all makes sense thats why i watch all his videos thanks again im working on getting a bead roller now so this was very helpful
Hi Karl, look at the last set in the beader, turn around and look at the belt line in your pickup, turn back around and look at the dies again.Could you not do two passes and make a wide, maybe tapering belt line for a door / cab corner with them?
For sure! Bead rolling can achieve many shapes. Guys are even 3F printing dies for custom body lines
Thank you for sharing all of your talent and your trial and error experience so that we can have a less frustrating experience fabricating and purchasing new equipment. Stay Awesome Karl !!!
Gr8 vid. When it comes to warping I normally wheel the bead lines first, to set some stretch in.
thanks Karl so much great information here
My favorite combination so far is using a pair of step dies on the bottom and a single one in the top to make a channel like what you find in a factory floor pan of older cars.
Using the three dies means that it can be done in a single pass and the channel is the same width the whole length with no need to attempt to run parallel lines over a long distance.
Right on! It’s cool how you can just use whatever to make whatever. The possibilities are endless!
Karl,
Thanks for going over the difference in dies. As always , your clear, concise explanation makes the learning enjoyable . I appreciate you passing you expertise along to us.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to You & Christina.

Those Radius roll over dies (that you hadnt used before) I repaired a 1930s British sidecar where they had used those so I bought the set. They had used the largest dies for the side then smaller dies to do the floor, since they are all 45degrees they all come together to make a 90 degrees but by using two different sizes they created a radius which decreased radius as it went around the lower edge.
Good to know!
I can see using those dies to wrap a panel over a tube. Is that how it was used on the sidecar?
@@T3glider no, they just created a 90 that changed radius as it progressed, its something that looks good as it tucks under the edge. As you point out, it will make for a perfect join over pipe
No matter the tool, every person has a way of interpreting its use. Some pretty straight forward, some can be super creative. I’ll sure be following when you make that bead roller.
Great, now i NEED a bead roller. Another fantastic lesson, thanks again mate.
Great video 👍This is the way all teaching videos should be made thanks again!
great video and info thank you very much. I learn a lot on your videos. Keep up the good work. Take care and stay safe.
Great video. Love the content. It is nice to see the various dies used and the associated contours and the tips on how to best use the dies.
Hey mate love watching your channel as well. Now I hand make alot of penals and have learned that before you put your bead roll into you metal by stretching it in the English wheel with a higher radius lower wheel on your English wheel as when you put your bead roll it pushes the stretched metal down so it takes away alot of the wrapping of your penal.
Cheers mate Wayne
Love the video. Thanks for sharing! I can’t wait for the build video on the bead roller
Great video Karl! Thanks for sharing, learning something new everyday! We all must Propagate the Knowledge. Rock on Brother!
Hey I wanted to show some appreciation for what you two are putting out. I look forward to your videos. I hope you two have a great holiday season.
Clint
Thanks for taking the time to make these vids to share the info!
Great info and liking the flaging dies. Awesome job as always.
You do a great job teaching how to do all this custom work!!!!
Nice demo on your bead roller dies and how you use them. Not too long till I'll start making the floor for my rod, so this added to my inspiration. Thumbs up!
Love your videos so much info makes me want to give it a try i think bead rolling looks so cool thanks Marry Christmas bro!!!!
Great video. The past 6 years I've been using the Mittler Bros 36" with a variety of their dies to add more detail to my sculptures. It's nice seeing different brands and profiles compared. Also like your modifications you've done on the lathe to avoid track marks. Great tips and information for anyone at any level.
Morning Karl, wow, everytime I watch one of your videos I learn something, I like how you take the time to explain....be safe!!
God Bless!!
Thanks for the demonstration with each die! Much appreciated!
Hey Karl, You would make one hell of a metal's teacher. You have a lot of knowledge and skills for a young man. I enjoy your channel and wish I was a young man again. To learn from you to work on projects again.
Merry Christmas to you, your wife, family, friends and all your subscribers. Hopefully we all have a Healthy New Year.
Thanks a lot Scott and merry Christmas and happy new year do you and yours
A perfectly timed, excellent video, sir!!! Thank you so much! 👍🏻
Dude you rock. I learn a lot from your channel. Well done.
Thanks Carl. Just starting to get serious about bead rolling, so perfect timing. Loving the content, and awesome new workshop fella.
Buenas tardes seria tan amable de darme un numero de telefono para mejor comunicacion muchas gracias amigo
I have watched this entire video, front to back, twice.......once before motorizing a brand new 36" throat roller, and then again today, before trying it out for the first time. Inspiration, and refresher!
Another great video. I agree with your favorite dies as those are pretty much my go to dies. I do use the urethane lower die more with my tipping die. I love Lazze as his videos are what got me interested in sheet metal manipulation.
Great demonstration, really looking forward to the video on building the bead roller
I can hardly wait to try some of the stuff you are teaching. Thanks Karl!
Unbelievable video. HUGE amount of info on this subject for a rookie like me. THANK YOU!
Nice video. Great breakdown of dues and their application
Great lessons with what dies can mix with others etc. I was thinking with my set that I could taper off where the tracking happens with my lathe. I never did cause I thought they were hardened steel... The possibilities are endless 👍👍
Great video. That Radius Step Roll die looks like it would be perfect for putting the body line in the bottom edge of Model A doors.
I love your channel! you and your wife's happy upbeat attitudes are contagious ! you have inspired me to dust off my bead roller and start building stuff again So thank you
That’s so great to hear! Bead rolling is super fun
Another great video . Hats off to awesome Canadian content.
To help with the track mark, I machined a couple of flat rolls of the same diameter as the back of the die I use, about 50mm long. They slide over the shaft behind the upper or lower die (depends of where the track mark will show) to help support the back of my panel, it helps with track marks and a little with the wrapping. I don't know if it makes sense.
You do the BEST videos. Thanks!
I often rewind and playback 4 or 5 times to try and catch the dies you are using. Great content as always matey thanks
I know you did a video about your bead roller and now I have got to make mine more like your’s. When I’m done I’ll send you a pic. Thanks again
That quilted design is kool!
Now I need to get a bead roller.
Hiya great video, thanks very much for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. I hope you both have a great🎄 Christmas & a fantastic New Year 👍
Loved the video, alot of information in this one. Thank you for sharing
Awesome video! Thanks for doing these.
A video i've been waiting for... thank you so much
That's pretty cool you certainly know your stuff that's why we watch you and learn from you. Merry Christmas
Glad you mentioned KMS! As a Canadian I have been shopping there for over 20 years. Great content. Look forward to learning more. Subscribed!
Another great one pal! Well done! Love all the info and put in a understandable real life average joe examples!
Some great information and tips sir!!!
Ever tried spraying you table with Bostik Top Coat? Just make it rust free, then spray it down. Let it dry up and buff it like wax. Do that a couple times at first, then you can just do touch ups as needed. It makes your material glide around like crazy, and will stop it from rusting further!
Interesting! Thank you I’ll have to check it out!
@@MakeItKustom - one guess what 3 letter store you can get it at. ;)
Great rundown on the proper use of the bead roller dies
Thanks and Merry Christmas !!
Excellent demonstration, so informative and understandable, thank you.
Thanks for the die demo Karl! 👍👍👍
Excellent tutorial, well explained and easy to follow.
Good onya. Thx for the video
Merry Christmas to you two. Love your content very informative I learn something new every time and I've been working with all different types of metals for quite a while.
Hello, Happy New Year, I wish you and your loved ones health. Cool, super lecture. I didn’t write for a long time, it didn’t work, but I followed. Thanks for the constructiveness!
Thanks for the tips..... love the show! Time to UA-cam to the east and watch Chad. Happy Holidays.
Boom! another amazing lesson thanks! Happy Holidays
Fantastic tutorial in bead rolling!
I’m looking forward to seeing you make a bead roller. Excellent video. Thx
Awesome video
Moved ahead on my learning curve.
Please keep videos coming....
Very useful information. Thanks to you and Christina and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
This was a good educational video. Thanks.
Thanks for posting this. If you want to explore different bead rolling dies on the cheap, look up Jere Kirkpatrick's vid on using washers and spacers as dies. Also polyurethane skateboard wheels make excellent soft dies cheap.
Thanks for the info. I have a HF bead roller that I bought for doing for furnace ductwork and this adds a whole new dimension of possibilities to the tool. Also, I have a lathe to make my own dies or modify existing ones.
Can’t wait for the bead roller build!
Very interesting! The differences and the pros and cons! Thank you
To avoid track marks, at least with some sets, put a piece of bicycle inner tube (or few layers of tape) over the flat of the die. This would create a soft surface and push the panel away from the unwanted part of the die so that track marks would not be formed.
Great video! Thank you for sharing this.
Excellent video, exactly what I needed to watch, I mainly work with copper and some of the sets you showed will definitely make my life easier, I'd like to see your hem roll set and how to work them a bit more.
Man u keep a tight ass shop! Very well equipped from the looks of it. Very informative, not redundant, solid insight and really great camera work. Thank u for your contribution to the slowly growing knowledge that resides in our noggins
Time is my hurdle. But your stuff is great. Sometimes I have to watch as I'm experimenting my self.
Excellent presentation of really informative information. Timing could not be better because I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on an
Eastwood bead roller. I really like the fact that you reinforced the idea that the Eastwood dies are very useable.
Thanks. You are a true gentle craftsman. 🙏
Great illustration, thank you!
Another great learning video! And a very Merry Christmas.
The camera work on these videos is awesome. Getting in at all the right angles makes this really stand out above most other instructional style videos.
Dude puts out well thought out advice but being able to really see what he's talking about kicks it up several notches.
Excellent, as usual. Thank you.
Hi Karl. Thanks for another great video.. The top tipping die I use has the angled flange on the inside of the die. This leaves a flat face which allows a full 90 degree flange.
Just purchased the same shear. It is wonderful super smooth operation.
Knowledge from experience is the best and it’s here in spades. 😎👍🇨🇦
Wow that was a good learning session. THANKS from Australia.
Another great informative video, I am getting ready to make some floor panels for my model A HotRod on my channel , I have the basic Eastwood roller and dies , and this video has given me some good insight on which dies and how to use them
Always illuminating!
You rock. Just started with a Eastwood beadroller..lots to learn..you definitely enlightened me.
Great information! Thank you! Merry Christmas!
Great stuff! Thx for sharing your skills!
Great Video as usual. Merry Christmas and hopefully a much better New Year to yourself and Christina
Great job!
saved us (that are new to using bead rollers) a ton trial and error leaning.
Great tutorial. I learned a lot, thanks!
