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.
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..
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?
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.
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!
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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.
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!
I am Soooo impressed ....I am ashamed to say I doubted all along that you would succeed at this. I have been following the roller video's with great interest. I'm very happy to be proven wrong. Well done that man !!!
Waow Tim, finally you did it. No wonder I didn't get any of your videos until now. Great job indeed. Bon courage. Regards to Sandra. God bless you all.
@@WayOutWestx2 Hello Tim. My name is Asha. Btw I wouldn't have been receiving notifications about any new video had I not press the bell 🛎 icon dear, ok?
Congratulations!!! Bloody brilliant! Hey, the hog huts I have here are riveted together where the two sheets meet in the middle. So you would not have to create wider sheets for a pallet, but just rivet two or so together to cover it. I think your onto something, this would make a nice dog house. Here in the USA these are sold for hogs, calves, goats housing, scaled up and down for the needs. Now you cracked that technology, everything is possible! Congrat's again!
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.
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 .
Wow man, you are a stud! Seriously impressed with your skills and your gumption. You just keep going and going...bit by bit well thought out and intelligent trial and error. I envy you. Thanks for sharing your manufacturing trials and tribulations buddy.
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
Hi Sandra and Tim, well done . If you want to do wider sheets without re-doing everything you could try putting support rollers or even just bearings on a solid frame so they contact and cradle your forming and curving rollers. When I say cradle I mean that, they are set along the lines of your revised curving design, but actually contacting the load bearing areas of the rollers to stop the rollers flexing away from the sheet. don't be tempted to just put a single row under each roller.
Progress. Well done. You can make tighter curves by moving the bottom rolls closer together too. Also as far as technique goes for curving, make sure you never start and finish on the same point. In other words, you should have a mark on your sheet that you work too but the first pass you over run it by say 2 inches, then jack the top roll tighter and then the second pass you may over run the mark by one inch. Then your last pass you land on your mark. Encouraging your curve in smaller increments can also pay dividends. Don't be too hasty in your passes. Better to jack say 7 times than 3. Takes longer but your finish will be far superior. That is what I have found at least from 30 years of curving corrugated iron professionally in Oz where I have a modern 3 phase driven machine and also one of the very old cast iron curvers. We also of course have access to soft feed curving quality iron in 24 gauge corrugated. Anyway, I salute your perseverance. Keep being you.
Thanks, Phill. I've done some experimentation along those lines and that transition from the straight vertical the curve is always going to be tricky. And the smaller the radius the more tricky it is. I think I'll have to live with the slight crumple on these small shapes, but on the bigger (people-sized) ones it should be possible to do what you suggest.
I have no idea what brought me to your chanel, but I’m HOOKED !! 😂, well done Sir, I admire your commitment, and ingenuity. In years to come people will marvel at your inventions as we do the works of Master DaVinci today lol. Outstanding 😉👍
Congratulation! From the beginnig of this project until now you worked a lot, but you gained a very good result, it looks like you bought it! very nice
You could connect 2 of thos together and make really nice raised bed gardens. Even if you put straight sides in between the two curves. You could make them as short or as long. Just a thought, they might sell in springtime. !!!!
A new type of machine is it. Chiller panel manufactures have been making the same type of profile for over 30 years. 44 gallon drum manufactures(and simmilar type of drums) have also been doing this too At least you got there in the end
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
Very well done sir! Splendid ingenuity, and pure Irish spirit, can make anything. As a Swedish old man I also appreciate your clear speach in the video. I presume, that you sometimes want to make longer tunnels, by overlapping a bead, with some caulking agent as silicon, and couple of rivets, or? I hope you are satisfied by this smooth process. An alternative method, may otherwise have been a pressing process, by small increments, at small angles, but that is another story and other obstacles. Cheers from Sweden.
Good job sir... i knew perseverance would win out. When you should the two types i thought you were going to make the "second" stage come up or down and be added in when you needed it. Now... your work has just begun....
Oval planters or compost bins!!! Was looking at bending corrugated sheets but now looking at this, it's above my pay grade. The nicer ones have ventilation slots stamped into it... probably out of depth to do that also... Nice work BTW!
Looks like a great machine. My neighbours have been building shepherd huts on caravan bases but have found it very expensive to buy the curved corrugated roofing sheets. So maybe there is a market for your rolled sheets. The roofing sheets are only gently curved...just enough to shed the rain. But very difficult to get hold of.
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 👍
What fantastic ingenuity. Really impressive working out all the movements, and congratulations on making a machine of so many parts. My favourite part? - the technological contrast of a CNC plasma cut bracket weighed down by a concrete block attached with baling string :D
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.
Very clever! You could make barrels or plant pots, raised garden beds and covered walkways, with a larger diameter, with this. Using round tubing would make it a lot easier to build, to strengthen might have to fill with mor tubing .
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.
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
I've loved watching the trial and error of this project series! So great that you persevered and managed to do it!

That would make a heck of a big mail box. :)

Thank you for not giving up and share your adventure
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

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.
