Default Please let me in!

I came across a problem recently in a project; finishing my 35 ford pickup last piece to send off for paint I needed a patch panel with the bead on a radius and had no Idea how to do it and had no tools for it, after a few weeks of pondering this problem I searched and played with a few things and made a bead roller using a lathe for power and a spindle and now I am back to cleaning my shop after a two year complete tear down of the old truck and every time I clean a spot I think of something that could fit there now. Just mounted my vice after building 10 years ago I couldn't drill holes in my counter tops because I had now where I wanted it for good. So like the only posts I have looked at here so far I used receiver tube and have several tools that fit and can remove them and swing it out of the way. I am digging for more info on a English wheel / Bead roller unit before building one, never used either before but think I can find room for it, if I clean just a little bit more. Mostly I build things for boats, and have done the stainless layout & Plumbing in a Brewery and the first brew sold; I guess thats pretty rare? I built them a automatic keg washer that washes four kegs with the push of a button And I am no good at doing dishes ask my wife
I have spent hours the last few days looking at some really good examples of art from some guys using bead rollers and they talked about this forum so here I am learning and looking some more.
