- My cheap HBM Bead Roller needed some modifications to work good. I decided to take my time and do a propper rebuild. Is this still called modification....?

Blown away by your skill level and quality of work, as a joiner of 30+ years breaking into metal work and fabrication later in life, this gives me much food for thought, I need more toys, I mean tools.... kudos my man!!
Bart! Thank you for taking the time to record, edit and post the video! Your modifications were well thought out and your craftsmanship is next level.
I've been metal working for over 20 years and I just picked up a couple of tricks watching you. Thanks!
Great job on the bead roller, thanks for posting!
About fully welding everything, I had a teacher in our "middle" school that was fond of telling us, "It's your little red wagon, you push or pull it as you see fit." to tell us that some things were just our decision and we had to decide for ourselves.
I think that fits here too.
My favorite build of a cheap bread roller so far. I love the depth guide, that's brilliant. The whole thing is very well done.
Thanks!
You do very nice work. It's making me miss my old equipment that has been packed away for 20 years. Good Luck, Rick
Outstanding work, and great job documenting everything.
Very nice work on that bead roller. I love the way you fully welded all the components. It will, as you said, avoid leaving any crevices where corrosion could start but apart from that it just looks damn smart. It's good to watch a perfectionist at work. Thank you for the video.
Thanks 👍
You did an awesome job on that bead roller. Very nice!
I know I am a little late to this video but ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC job. Very, very impressed. Thank you for posting.
Never too late 😉. Thanks
Excellent job. love the detail
Spectacular! The manufacturer should pay you and build it this way, from day one. Brass tag, with screws all facing same direction, was icing on the cake.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!
Fabulous job my friend, loved watching you work !!
Nice job!!! Craftsmanship is top notch! Especially liked the name plate. Thank you for sharing!!!
wow, what a job, just looking to buy a bead roller and some of your ideas are going to get put into my project BR, cheers for the Fab video.
Holy ow... your fab work is stunning!!
Great video, thanks for sharing. Another great personal preference for me is to fill my sealed machines with sand...., shot, or concrete works too. Adds good weight dexterity and sound damper. Again great build ,thanks
Your workmanship is 1st class. I have the same bead roller and I’ll be putting your ideas to good use. Also, top marks for your video.well done and explained.
Thanks!
Hey Bart, like they say, it's your welder and you can play with it as much as you want! It's your time and materials. Oh and your finishing work on your projects is becoming so impeccable I would be afraid to use it!
Amazing craftsmanship!
Fantastic helpful ideas. thanks for the very nice info.
Amazing work Sir!
I see It is Made with a lot of Love Very Nicely and Professionally Made! Good luck in some new project Greetings From Alex from Germany
That’s a dandy! Strong work, my friend.
Who very very nice ! Excellent work . 10 of 10 !!!
Excellent job! Well done.
Beautiful job❤
Gee beautiful workmanship and you have a great machine shop as well.. Enjoyable and I wish that I had your talent and skills.
Thank you. The shop is build slowly over many years. Just start somewhere and the skills will develop with it.
Very nice work! Cheers, Doug
Love the new handwheel, what a great idea. Just found your channel, I'll be watching some more tomorrow night I think. 👍
Thanks. Have fun 👍
I am thinking about building one and you have helped me . Thank you so much.
I enjoyed your video very much
Thanks! If you have any questions then let me know.
This is one the best video I've seen on bead roller modifications, it is built like a tank ,well worth the time you spent on it.
Thank you
Very nice....looking forward to seeing the motor addition
Excellent work. Thanks.
Thanks for the great video. I was planning on beefing up my cheap bead roller and I plan on using many of your ideas. I mig weld mostly and am concerned about heat and warping the main plate. I have the same tig welder you have the V205T but have not done much tig and definitely need more practice. Really like the stand idea with the roller die storage. Very nice work, it is appreciated that you share this!
Thanks. And for welding MIG also works fine. Just clamp the main plate or use some welding/heat to straighten it.
Very nicely done!
WELL GOTA SAY THATS BY FAR THE BEST BEAD ROLLER MODIFICATION VIDEO , GREAT JOB THANK YOU
Thanks!
the bead roller came out spectacular,thanks for sharing
Thanks 👍
Awesome job Bart ! The three things I saw today is careful thought, over built and as close to perfect as you can get. The bead roller will work much better and have more adjustability than before and its looks good too, its blue ( can't go wrong with Blue ). I had to subscribe !!!
Very nice workmanship.
Thank you
I wish I had a metal scrap yard You really did get lucky good for you and nice job
That looks amazing! I'd love to own that!
Wow!! You’re amazing man! Nice set of tools and nice set of skills!
Thank you 👍
That was interesting to watch !
The improvements are great.
I have access to both a cheap bead roller And a quailty bead roller.
Neither has a motor, but there are times I wish I had the ability to move the work with a foot controled motor freeing both hands for moving the part being worked on.
Thank you for allowing us to view your ideas.
Be Safe and Well
Thanks! Yes for most jobs this would work fine but a motor makes it more relaxed. I will add one in the future.
Nice project, impressive skills!
I like that, well done young man!
Thank you 👍
Well done mate looks great
This came out really nice! Great job
Thanks 👍
That is quite the modification! Well done sir!
Thank you
You have amazing tools to modify a piece of equipment
Well, that's what I call a substantial improvement. :)
Very well done...
Hi Bart, Thank you for sharing this with the UA-cam audience. I found your video very helpful in my research for my first bead roller. I too have see wheels instead of a handle and wondered why. But now I know.
Kind regards Paul from 48SPOKES (UK)
Thanks. Thats nice to hear.
Very nice modifications... excellent workmanship.....
Thanks 👍
Amazing job man!!! Very detailed!! Really nice welding!!! Congrats!!!
Thanks 👍
Nice work. You are very thorough.
Thanks 👍
Nice work That should make a world of difference in the operation and finish product. A lot of great ideas.
Thanks, and yes it makes a big difference.
Very nicely done, GREAT modifications!!
Thanks!
Great Upgrade. NICE WORK.
Thanks!
Excellent work...like it
nice job looks great. i found myself doing the same thing about 20 yrs ago. i added a right angle variable speed gearmoter (scrapyard find) with a foreward and rev foot pedal.for a true one man operation i also made a thicker 3/4"mount plate with enough depth to reach 24".i just recently dismantled it to gain shop space for tools i will use more often. hope you get more use out of yours
Thanks. I think I will use it for some nice projects and costumer jobs.
Hi Bart, loved it, just come across you and looking forward to your other vids, Joe
Killer build my friend!!!
Very pretty job!! Congrats!
Thank you!
Nicely done ✅👍
Just bought a similar bead roller.....wow...I can probably do a few of your ideas...really enjoyed your video!!!! 😜🍁
Amazing workmanship.
Thanks
oh my goodness... what a beautiful work... maaaaaaan you are presenting the quality of the old europeans... God bless you
Thank you
Love the curved hand wheel, here in California it’s getting more and more difficult to find scrap yards that let you roam around. People have been suing scrap yards for their injuries and now the fun is over.
Great job sir ,
Nice work. Full marks for considering the long term durability of the machine. Regards, Mark Presling
Thank you Mark
I would make it the same way and would worry what the peanut gallery comments were.keep up the good work looking forward to more of your projects.
Crazy bro…absolutely Crazy!😎
A great job well executed truly highly skilled work done ✅✅
Thanks 👍
Great project. Thanks.
Great job! I did similar mods to my cheap bead roller.. you really have some great ideas, features, and quality workmanship. I used a cheap 1/2" variable speed high torque drill motor to power mine. I geared it down using a13 tooth gear on the drill and 110 tooth gear on the shaft..it will go really slow for intricate work but still have speed for long straight runs.. you don't want to just use the variable speed to slow it down so you don't burn up the drill motor..
Thanks. One day i will add a motor or build a new version with motor.
Nice work 👍
Mooi project en een hele verbetering 👍
Enjoyable video Bart and inspiring too. I have the same bead roller. Nice touch with the split screen shots. 👍
Thanks!
You are really good at design, fabrication and TIG welding. Enjoyed watching this project from start to finish.
Thank you!
Thanks, I really enjoyed it
Super job!
Thanks
Well done mate. Awesome job..
Thanks 👍
Very smart upgrades👍
Thanks
A REALY NICE JOB,KEEP IT UP.
Thanks 👍
Wow Great job !! I have to get back to finishing the one I built from scratch . Other projects have gotten in the way so maybe this winter I will have more time ...
Great job!. Congratulations!. A fraternal greeting from Argentina.
Thanks!
I want to make that machine. Do you have plans of it?
@@ricardorigo1331 No sorry, i dont have any plans. But I think the video shows the design and most dimensions are not really critical.
I like your explanation regarding the full welds - "that is my preference"! Absolutely! That is why we make tools for ourselves! Unrelated, I LOVE the Pullmax cameo - would like to see it in action.
And I know that we live halfway around the world from each other, but I have the same bead roller - also modified, the same cold saw, and the same Pullmax (I think. Mine is a P5)!
And maybe the same welder - mine is a Millermatic 350P!
Haha nice. Good machines and tools. My miller is a 383
Well you certainly turned a $50 tool into a $1000 tool. You did a very nice job and a whole lot of work, but that’s how we make ourselves happy. Good job
Thank you.
Very nice great work
Thanks 👍
Wow, you have some talent and nice tools. You took a $100 bead roller and made it into a $3000 one.😎
Thanks!
very nice video and mods the best complete one i seen .....cant wait to see your motorized mod in future it should be done very nice too
very impressive. thanks for sharing.
Thanks!
That’s unreal I just reinforced mine etc but the other mods you have done are out of this world
Great job Bart
Thanks!
You are an artist. I have to admit when you painted it I was a little disappointed. It was so beautiful bare metal with all the weld blueing. But it looks fantastic! Nice job to you sir! Anyone who could thumbs down this video is simply a hack who can't appreciate the quality.
Thanks!
9:11 Damn! If I could weld like that I'd do the same. That's simply beautiful.
hard to believe from the end product that it started out as basically the same cheap bead roller I've had out in my shop for a couple decades
Very beautiful 👌👏👏
Thank you
Jonge jongen, je hebt het echt goed gedaan!!, niet alleen maar sterker maar ook functioneler, peetje af 👍👍
Dank je!
