Hi from Colorado.
 

Was searching for ideas for building a larger bead roller & found this site. Pleased to be here!

I worked in the electronics & power industries & retired in 2008. Mainly in instrumentation & controls & management. I enjoy many hobbies but sadly haven’t really mastered any! I have spent more time working on home additions & remodeling than I’d planned, but hope to finish these enduring projects by summer. Then I want to spend time working on some older cars I own. That’s why I want to build a bead roller. My current metal-working equipment includes welders, a plasma cutter, Zero bead blast cabinet, a mill & lathe, shop press & a 5,000 sq ft. shop with an overhead bridge crane. I’m very blessed. Hopefully I can spend dramatically more time out there soon.
