Making a Tube rolling Machine for spiral handrail

I needed to make a tube rolling machine so I could make spiral handrails, this is the story of how I made the machine and the problems on the way. I will use this machine for making the handrail down my well soon hopefully as well.

I've been welding and fabricating for well over 35 years, and may I say I'm in awe at your skill level. greetings from the USA.

[@Tornado_Dave]

Thank you very much! Plenty more fabrication to come 😀

[@ianburgoyne6573]

OMG is that Guy Martin. Huge fan of you both. Keep up the awesome fabricating

[@Tornado_Dave]

Thanks Ian, do you want to help us with the next project? 😀

@@Tornado_Dave your pulling my leg!!! I would love to 😀

Lads messing about in a shed absolutely brilliant reminds me of me and my mates workshop Wednesday

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes it’s great playing around making stuff 😀

[@GrumpyFrogProduction]

Guy Martin - proper job that

[@Tornado_Dave]

He’s not used to being a camera man is he 😂

@@Tornado_Dave would never have guessed

Very interesting watch.. I hand make, vintage exhausts pipes for some of the bikes that Guy races against.. and I wouldn't know where to start with bending a spiral.. ive had to go and watch that 'Accent' video that is mentioned above.. Very Interesting. 😊👍 Good luck with your tunnel.. Ben Hardman, Raysons Exhausts

[@Tornado_Dave]

Thanks Ben, It’s probably not the correct way that I have done it but I only need to do 2 staircases and 1 has worked so far 😀 Guy went down my tunnel yesterday, think he liked it 😂

Dave love it nothing surprises me any more , whats next EV ricker ?

[@Tornado_Dave]

I want to make my trialer electric but don’t think it’s allowed yet

[@BackyardBunkerBuilder]

There is a yellow door to nowhere on the second floor of that building. Had me cracking up.

[@Tornado_Dave]

That’s my next job for him, I will film the project 😀

[@EpicATrain]

Did you have to go to school to learn how to do all of that? If so, what programs?

[@Tornado_Dave]

No I just learnt it all myself if unsure always have a look on you tube

[@rambow2550]

Hi Just found your channel. Watching the tunnel videos where you are strugleing to lift your tubs of soil out though your well shaft I was thinking you needed to buld an over head Gantry to winch the tubs round easier and two hours later there you are building a hand rail which could be mounted over head to use as said gantry. could you do a video on the well from whit I gather is you found the well while leveling the ground and it's from some sort of WWII militery camp we need more info on it. also a heads up on the crash bill of £15 + grand. keep up with the vids Thanks.

[@Tornado_Dave]

There is a video showing some pictures of making my bunker but I don’t have any videos I’m afraid, if you look back through my videos you will find it, yes you are right I could use the handrail as a guide 😀

[@rambow2550]

Good Morning @@Tornado_Dave Thanks for the reply. I think I've watched 15/16 videos so far inclueding the tunnel playlist so I'm slowly working through them I only came across your channel yesterday after noon. I'm into militery history and lived in England for 24 years abd found it intresting to walk around the old disused camps and pillboxes, I come from Guernsey in the Channel Islands so the Islands are coverd with old fortifctions and of course the German Bunkers from the Occupation.

[@pauljoseph8338]

Is that Isle of Man TT legend Guy Martin? Wtf is he doing with with you???

[@Tornado_Dave]

Yes that’s him, we built the landrover together on the tv series and now I’m making his spiral staircase with him

[@AndrewSpencer2]

That didn't look very successful. Watch the 3rd video in the spiral series by Accent Ironwork, you need a machine rigid enough to hit the roll & the helix in 1 pass. Clever way to make your wheels, but the axles are nowhere near large enough

[@Tornado_Dave]

I need to watch that, it has worked but if I was doing them day in day out I would need a better solution 😀

[@BackyardBunkerBuilder]

You are a knob buddy it worked and the stairs are now installed. Always has to be someone in the comments who want to tell people everything wrong with what they are doing. They say the world needs all sorts of people, you make me question that statement.

[@AndrewSpencer2]

@BackyardBunkerBuilder you may have a point there, I do sound like a bit of a nob in that comment! 😂
I was trying to be constructive, only because I've done this and I know the frustration when you waste all that material. I guess it's hard to give someone advice without sounding like a know-it-all. Sorry if I upset you.
