Don’t steal our stuff!
Do you know something friend I'm following your videos not really knowing what you're at a lot of the time but the fact that you are actually making"stuff" is cool. Please keep doing what you're doing.
Ha! Thanks, Tom
It looks very similar to the ribs on an oil drum. I wonder if that is how they roll those as well.
Congratulations on your success!! I admire your mechanical aptitude and indomitable attitude.
I brought that up last time. When they do oil drums they roll the cylinder first and then weld the seam. Then they put it on a set of rollers and put the ribs in it. I told Tim it might be easier to do it that way, to get the shape first and then put the ribs in it.. but he did it his way as most of us probably would.
I think if you're making the same size all the time, it might be worth doing things that way round - but I hope to make a variety of sizes, so this way makes most sense , I think..
Thank you TWH!
Can you make them bigger.
Like really big. For a shed. One piece barrel (28 ft across) roof Is what us roofers would call it. Then sides of 10 ft
Yes I live on a farm. And yes the mind never stops.
J.A.Ratt85 if you were to try, & put the ribs in afterwards, you would only be able to put them into the curved section, which would leave the flat section straight, would it not?
I've loved watching the trial and error of this project series! So great that you persevered and managed to do it!
Thanks, Dave!
That would make a heck of a big mail box. :)
LOL
"It even makes orange ones!" 😂
Congrats Tim, you did it!
fioré 😂😂😂, I had a good laugh at that one too lol.
Two bits of curved roof fastened end to end, and turned up, would make a lovely raised bed for planting
Was going to suggest this myself, The corrugated iron raised beds that can be bought ready made cost an absolute fortune!
That's how I ended up here😂😂😂
Enclosed trailers are very expensive. You could make those really waterproof.
Good idea! Thanks
Yeah! There are lots of people looking to basically make the same sort of thing for a 'tiny house'/camper trailer.
By the way, this is so cool and you've really impressed this particular mechanical engineer! Keep up the good work!
Your barn is starting to look like a real sheet metal factory! The curving process actually makes the corrugation look nicer. That's a great success. How about taking a long sheet and putting a tiny radius in the middle so it's the right size for a bicycle garage? Oh! Better yet, these would make great bicycle camper trailer roofs. A bicycle camper has been on my list of projects to get around to for a long time. This would make great roofs for covered trailers of all kinds. Now I want a sheet metal factory in my barn too.
Good ideas. Thanks Ben. (Yes, I wonder what it takes to be a real factory. A bell? A sign that mentions Bros? A canteen? Perhaps I should make a tiny canteen and a sign and open for business properly!)
@@WayOutWestx2 I envy your space... I used to take it for granted with my grand father's shed. Now living in smaller places where there is no room to do such things. Heck I have to go outside to change my mind! Keep up the good work. Explore those ideas, they are golden.
05:24 The railway system you made is just toooo good....
Especially for such heavy items.
It really is helpful sometimes
Great result! As to applications, perhaps small garden storage, say for a compressor with ends closed up, rhubarb forcer again with closed ends, hedgehog shelter, if bigger lawn mower cover, firewood kindling cover better if rolled out of transparent aluminium!, but if you can make them bigger many more possibilities emerge for animal homes: dog kennel, pig house... & storage. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent ideas - thank you !
Also, If you could get Camo themed coating on them, a great little kennel or small water /irrigation shed in bigger gardens or on farm lots where they wouldn't be noticed by crooks.
Here in Australia they make water tanks that shape that are for narrow housing blocks to collect rain water. I thought about compost bins too. instead of un- environmentally correct plastic made in Chicom land ,and Irish one,which over the decades would itself retinue to nature.If you made them stackable you, they could be made to stack really high for the small alotment holder to make a few tons of compost.
Raised garden beds, is what i'd like to make. Well done.
I have so enjoyed this entire odyssey, in particular your upbeat and positive attitude despite your many setbacks. Thank you for allowing us to share in the satisfaction of your success.
I'm glad you persevered and sussed it out in the end. Congratulations!
Our very own 'Gyro Gearloose' of Europe you are :) Love to see your tinkering, Tim. Thank You.
Ha! Thanks, Bjorn.
Brilliant machine! Brilliant video! Laughed out loud at "It even makes orange ones!" Thanks for sharing!!!
Excellent!
Just see if the 1/2 sheets will overlap and seal to create a full width.
Great for dog houses, and small critter shelters.
Use a butyl caulk pr tape in the seams.
Wishing you Great Success.
Good plan - thanks, Dusty
I am very glad that you have come up with a design that works for you!
I like the progressive rib dies! It makes it easier for the sheet to contract when tolling the ribs
I admire your persistence! Cant wait to see the first finished house 😊
It's so awsome to see someone so focused and stubbornly stick to an ideal and rather than to give in to frustration and give up, keep at it till the plan finally becomes a reality! Bravo!
You are a freaking genius. What a great example of engineering yourself a solution to a problem you made up yourself. This should be inspirational to everyone who encounters a similar problem.
What a fun project! You are very talented! And great storytelling, and pacing as well!
bloomin marvellous! Well done Tim :)
When I was in the US Navy, the Seabees had this machine called The Ultimate Building Machines that they used to make K-spans. These are very similar to the Quonset Huts that they had in the World War II era that look like half tin cans. You could do most of the same stuff on a smaller scale. The only part you are missing is the edge seamer that can join 2 panels together - as it is, overlapping ridges and screwing them together would be watertight but leave exposed screws on the inside. Even the commercial UBM had issues with the seams though. If you can figure it out, they could be great in disaster relief areas.
You're right - the seams would be a challenge if I start making much bigger structures. But I'll start small and see how far I get
You just need to make standing seams with a couple of pop rivets. No need for screws I side and very waterproof.

Thank you for not giving up and share your adventure
Bravo Tim ! Amazing as always. Blessings to all.
Homeless shelters, pet/ livestock shelters, seed starter....you’re very talented!
Well done Tim!!! So glad you beat it in the end. Nothing feels better than success! I knew you would do it!! So very pleased for you! Take care and all the best to you and Sandra!
Thank you, Sharon : - )
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT. Congrats Tim! So great to see your hard work pay off!
I was so happy to see you did it. 😊
yayyy!! I'm soo glad to see u stuck to it and figured it all out, well done!!!
The finished product is beautiful. I'm very happy for you!
Well done, Tim! I got really excited upon reading the title! 💜
Thanks, Magabyte!
Well done Tim!! Pumphouses. Rabbit sheds. Chicken tractors. Rhubarb/asparagus forcing covers, cowls for chimneys, Andersson shelters for suckling pigs...
Thanks Rupert - at last the huge demand for bomb shelters for pigs can be met. Oh happy day : - )
Well done 👍🏻 getting better every time. Looking forward to the next installment to see where it takes you!
Congrats on making a machine that finally WORKS for you! :D This final one is really clever!
You have worked on this for a long time. Glad to see you have finally done it
Huzzah! Glad you got it worked out!
Ideal for animal shelters! For wildlife rescue centres and farms. Love this, great work!
Yay Tim! Congratulations!
Curved corrugated iron makes for good raised garden beds. Durable, cheap, lightweight, and they look good.
Little dog houses or farm cat mini barns? Or a nest home for broody hens. What a genius series of inventions.
Good idea - thanks, Fiona!
No farm project is complete without a concrete block and some twine :D - brilliant stuff!
Well exactly!
Way Out West Blow-in blog, I loved that the concrete block is a stand-in for a higher tech spring! 😂
Very happy to see your sucess on the project. I strugglet with this kind of problem years ago and never made it work. You guys are just amazimg.
Yay! Congratulations!
You figured it out! 👏👏👏
That's wonderful! I couldn't be happier for you. Congratulations!!!
Well done Tim, you did it.
So glad you've got it figured 😊
Really great stuff Tim, a lesson in perseverance.
this is absolutely incredible to see finally happen
Nicely done!
I enjoyed the journey and the outcome very much.
Fantastic work!
Congrats!
Instant equipment covers for snowy areas...just pop it over mower/tiller/generator or other outdoor equipment that isn’t under other cover.
Hay bale cover, so you can feed flakes to animal, and keep the rest of the bale dry nearby for feeding AM and PM.
Electric fence or irrigation controller cover, so water doesn’t get on battery or electric hookup out in the field.
Wheelbarrow or garden cart cover, so what is in the could stay dry!
Instant toolbox cover for flatbed or pickup bed...with a door you could lock, removable at any time with a few bolts only accessible from inside.
Shall I go on?
Great work, Tim! What I like best is how you handle failure. You’re an inspiration to us all.
Thanks, Pat. Lots of good suggestions there. I especially like the hay bale shelter..
Dude you rule! You didn't give up. You kept looking for solutions. Awesome
Thank you for sharing us
You're getting there. It's looking very promising. Well done.
I identify with this logic applied in this video! "I want a thing, but the the thing doesn't exist or it does but is oddly expense. So I build a thing to build the thing I want and spend a vast amount of time getting it right."
It's a terrible curse, isn't it? Much better to say - that'll do just as it is!
Congratulations on your success! Hard work pays off the best!
what an inspiration.
never give up i’m glad you finally got it !!!!
Dog / cat house. Small garden tool shed. Motorcycle shed. Anything much larger than that you would need to get your sheet metal on a roll
Since you're getting smaller rolls with the sheets maybe single nesting boxes to hang in various places in the barn. Also don't forget the uses for beehives. Good health to you and your family Tim. Hello from Kentucky mountains USA 👍
In awe!
Fantastic result, great work team. The big companies should have been able to do that!
Brilliant Tim you certainly got some patients and sticking power cheers
Hooray! Success!
finally you did it . I was with u all the time . very happy . today
Thank you, I & P. Good ideas.
Yay. Great work.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing 😊
That looks like the perfect shape for a smoker, all it needs is some hole for racks and smoke source. Also could be a great mail box or fenders for a trailer
Congratulations!!!
great job tim! I'm so happy you finally made it! it was waaay harder than it looks
Yay!!! Kudos bud, good job
You’ve certainly tort us all a thing or two about not giving up. You and your fine lady. Well done 👍🇦🇺
Try filling the box iron axles with concrete and weld caps on both ends.
Too late! But yes, that might have worked..
Brilliant, well done!
Bravo 👏, great idea . The possibility are limitless, bird houses,dog house, covers for lawn equipment,vehicle covers , water tanks ,barrels for storage, out houses. Now you need a edge roller to make the ends to tie into the rooftop an walls . Great idea though using pallets for a base to make small storage sheds .
Thanks, Ardy - good ideas all
I saw another guy's idea and he made the same shape and made a bicycle trailer camper with it!
That must have been SO satisfying to see that first n-shape emerge, Tim! Persistence pays off!
Well done you!
Thanks, Tony. Relief more than anything!
This has been one of my favorite builds I've ever watched develop. You should make yourself a mailbox- and a dove cote! I imagine you could use the plasma cutter to make beautiful patterned vents before rolling -for making luminaries or chimney caps or something
What's a dove Cote?
@@Polopony20. Where doves and pigeons live or gather.
@@loboalamo thanks!
A dovecote is a great idea - thanks. (Just need some doves..)
wow ! the finished roof looks great Tim .
Thanks, Richard - yes, I think it looks ok too
Be great for small lawn mower/garden tractors, generators, and other things that do better with a shelter from the weather. You could also use several sections to roof over stairs and walkways which would help keep the snow off in winter and rain in summer.
I just discovered your channel due to me trying to get ideas on rolling sheet metal. My friend I must say you are a true master of ingenuity. I love watching your different projects please keep it up. Thanks for filming all of this. Take care
Thank you very much! Welcome aboard. Don't forget the new channel - way out west workshop stuff
That’s a great machine. And you show enough of how it works to whet my appetite, but not enough so that I can steal your effort. Good show!
Steal away! I wouldn't put it on UA-cam if it was a secret : - )
Brilliant as always.👍
You could make dog kennels and chicken arcs that look like other animals. You just need to use primary colours
Example spots on a red background. Paint front black add two googly style eyes and aha Lady bird!
Or
Colourful roof on raised pallet base painted to look like gypsy caravan.
Just make sure you find away to insulate the insides for both summer and winter.
I think you're onto a winner you just need to think cartoon art style.
Ooo mini amish barn style chicken coops on wheels.
So many options my head fair spins.
Also raised bed kits
People buy the curved sheets and fixings from you then they can add straight sections and cross bracing to make the size raised beds they want.
Similar design to the old non-locking package mailbox my father has. Nice Machine to get what you want and what the market isn't supplying.
How exciting! I knew your clever mind would be figuring this out somehow. :-)
Amazing work, inspiring perseverance!
you certainly persisted Tim it's paid off !
way to go Tim!!
Congrats ..great machine....it was a case of no surrender !!!
you did it man well done
That is a fantastic machine that you've built :)
Genius! Impressive!
Make a King Size mailbox, to house all my giant bills!
Smart man, I really like your idea of making the small huts.
I take my hat of to you mate.Well done and congratulations.
Make an elongated oval using two curved pieces as 'ends' of a raised bed, (e.g. hugelkultur method of growing food), with longer straight pieces as the longer sides of the raised bed. Sell as a bolt together kit.
