New guy from Indiana
 

Hello all,

I came here looking for Ideas on building a bead roller and who knows what else. I recently acquired a good amount of steel in the form of structural steel and think I could build a fairly good sized roller with a deep throat. I may have enough left over for something else useful for metal working like a English wheel or something like that. I have access to a lathe and have a milling machine and welder my puny garage.

I am new in the area of using the bead roller and things like that, but I think it's time to step up my projects a level with the luxury these machines would give me. I have a couple big home projects coming up that would benefit greatly for having expanded metal working capabilities.

I need some panels to finish off the bed I built on my little truck.
