Hey Karl, another great tutorial. Always a good thing to know how to make your own tools. The quality of many store bought tools is lacking. Thin metal and cheap parts seem to be the hallmark of today's tools. Building them yourself insures the quality of the final product. And if you build it, you know how to repair it instead of replacing it. Thanks for sharing your expertise and we'll see you next time.
Thanks so much Kieth! I love building tools for those reasons and also I find it by knowing exactly how it works you kind of know how to use them as well!
*Karl, just for entertainment only you should check out Jimmy's World and the Jan 16 '22 Beechcraft Bonza C35. Flaps and V-tails were magnesium and got **_crunchy_** over time showing a white powdery corrosion. Each of those V tail stabilizers (aka ruddervators) prolly 48" x 10" x 1" thick are bead rolled aluminum and ...(wait for it)...$10K a pop. That's six billion dollars in Canadian... I mean $13,000 each in Canadian money. Either way they look very simple and I'm sure you have to get them inspected by FAA etc but hey... looks well within your capability.*
Just finished building the main body and stand! Drive system and all the gears etc are on the way! BTW people, eastwood is having a sale right now and I also found a 10% off coupon that doesn't seem to get old. It's "bleepinj". With the sale price plus 10% off it was about 425 after tax and another 20 for shipping. Thanks Carl. Your videos are always playing in the background in my shop and they help keep my ADHD in check and me on target. 🤙
Seriously cool! So many channels are about the big dollar tools and it's amazingly refreshing to see someone create their own tools but also share the how to so that just us regular guys they have a shot at building them!
Literally building this right now! Salvaging the drive and bushings from the baleigh 24” that wasn’t quite cutting it and fabbing the rest. You’re absolutely THE MAN! So kind of you to share the files and all of you knowledge. Been fabricating and building cars for many years, self-taught and I’ve picked up on so many little things in your videos, whether its a tad different way to think about something, a technique I’ve never used, or even just a couple words that made something click! Keep up the good work!
that baleigh stuff is so outrageously priced i think you can find it all cheaper in Alibaba if you look close i believe its the same stuff maybe im wrong its funny every tool company sells the same exact machines different prices they might tweek it a little paint it what ever but...
To prevent the chip strand from get too long just pause in your feeding of the bit. This breaks the chip and also gives the cutting edge a chance to cool which will prolong the cutting edge. Also, some coolant made for drilling and lathe work wouldn't be a bad idea either. Another solid video, sir! Like my granddad used to say "I love work. I could watch it all day!"
@@MakeItKustom Even WD40 works better than nothing. At that point I started laughing and said "You didn't need to tell us you aren't a machinist" :-D Great build btw! I want one now!
Appreciate someone who makes their own tools. I've already made my own welding cart, engine stand, and a cherry picker with larger flotation tires. Makes all the difference being able to work on the "heavy" equipment out in the dirt. Nice to see Eastwood already has a motor speed controller available along with the dies. As I now see my next project.
I like your cheer! I like your positive outreaching motivating charisma! I like your builds!!! I like your content! I like your channel! Keep it up and keep bringing your devoted always smiling great talent! God Bless everyone!!
Aloha Karl, the long video doesn’t seem long when you teach us so much. It’s unbelievable that you are willing to share those files. You inspire me to try and make things on my own for my projects when I could just buy it off the shelf. Mahalo for sharing you knowledge. 🤙🏼
I can see he is brilliant at what he does. Like his tutorials. I am sure many people don't or can't afford, nor have knowledge of using a milling machine. Making all these machines is beyond me.
Hi Karl, When you are drilling holes on your mill, instead of having to line up each hole, use a stop that is consistent, in this instance use a piece of steel across the outer face of the vice jaws as you position the piece you want to drill the hole. That way your holes will be all aligned with a common face. when using the boring head, use the quill power feed rather than the table, will give you a consistent finish too. Regards Dennis
When you modified the Bushings to remove the slop, I 've heard a machinist call the method "swedging" . He said that he used to do it to pistons to make up for "oversized" cylinders walls. Great video you made !!
I just wanted to point out that the hercus 260 lathe has a power feed clutch knob blow the half nut leaver you were using. Use the half nuts for thread cutting only. Keep the videos coming. Great content.
I can't tell you how rad it is that you shared your DWG files!! I was looking to build one of these instead of going down the path of upgrading a cheap one, and this is just amazing. Thanks man, look forward to seeing whats next
It wasn’t till about two years ago a metal supermarket was built near me. Before that, there was nowhere to get metal from without driving 100 plus miles. Love that place!
I have no desire or need for a bead roller however your videos are so entertaining and educational,I always pick up something I can use,you are a very engaging inspirational guy thanks!
Thanks man I’m so glad to hear that. Even though you’re not planning on building when are using one you can use some of the information in the video! Cheers
Wow this project turned out fantastic. Great design, great application, fantastic workmanship, and welding. you are a true educator the way you explain and show how to build correctly. Just one thing, to keep some of your subscribers happy, paint it pink.
A charm to watch your videos, again and again, you are a source of inspiration, I love the ease you have to build things, to invent simple ways of making tools, a greeting from Spain.
Such a great video! You make it seem so very doable. This project is definitely in my future. 40:20 I'd like to suggest that heat is your friend in these situations. 🔥
What a great video I’m 70 years old now but what I wouldn’t give to be your age with all your skills and your equipment that you use the things you can make are endless
@@alantreadwell5369 I have not got there yet ordered the metal and all the parts but think you can convert the files ? Open the DWG in AutoCAD. Hit 'File' the select 'Save As' to bring up the file saving options. In the next dialog you can select DXF as the required output. Select 'Save' to create your DWG file
Definitely a nice build! I enjoy your videos, because you go into detail about your builds. You also include the oops factor when you have to make an adjustment or have figured a better or easier way to get to the end result. Thanks for sharing the files for this build.
Dude I don’t even plan to build my own bead roller any time soon and for as far as the length of the video it was just fine, I would rather watch you fabricate whatever it is your working on than watch motor trend channel. I am always amazed with your skills, the forethought that goes into the design and the quality of the execution just blows me away! You sir are a bad man!!! Yesterday day I made a plate for my stereo head unit that has been bouncing around in the glove box for years inspired by the one you built for the wife’s ride, I also used some basic metal forming, shaping just with a hammer and bench vice and various pieces of scrap I had laying around as the shape. I needed to bend some exhaust pipe to transition from round to oval shape in order to mate up to the factory exhaust deflectors on my 56 Pontiac. Sorry this is so long winded, just wanted you to know I really appreciate the knowledge you share.
Thanks so much Robert! I really appreciate this message. You’re very kind and I am so glad to hear that you enjoy the channel so much and are using simple tools to form metal for your own projects! Love the car by the way!
You should weld on some pegs with lips so you can store the dies along the back side of this roller. I've been working with sheetmetal for 28 years and I gotta say your setup is awesome! Badassness all the way boss!
Great build Karl! Thanks for sharing!!! Boring head tips: 1. Snug the dovetail screws so the moving head has resistance & dia. adjust screw needs some wrench torque to move it, then leave them set. Properly set they dont need to be released/locked down hard. 2. boring bar can go in any of those 3 vert holes ( or in the horz hole for big bores). 3. rotate dia adjust screw in the other direction...it's not captive, needs to pull (you were over extended). Then after 1st pass, just crank in next cut...don't have to reverse & remove backlash each pass. Dial in your cut, then auto quill feed down as others mentioned and you'll get satin smooth bores. 5. multi cuts to sneak up on your dia then save a few thou for final pass. Follow these tips and you can hit +/- 1/10 all day, every day. Why bore to a 1/10 you ask? Becuz its what bad asses do :D LOL! Rock on!
Ok Karl ya did it awesome workmanship great video ya made it happen wow thks for sharing this project with us ya made it easy to understand and workable dont need to be rocket Sciencest to make this Happin so Congrats hats off l,m too old hands dont work great anymore seeing this brings back memories of the old days were the guys wood build stuff and share their plans ya wood make them proud Karl carry on from Canada 🍁 SK later 😊
Great tunes makes watching your videos even more pleasurable. Some of the music people play is mind numbing. Chilled lunch hour watching some great work.
Another great one you guys, long but so worth it. Karl buddy you HAVE to get an anvil in your shop. 100 lb. plus anvil with nice sharp edges. So much nicer for getting square bends with a hammer! Thanks for all the info and the DWG files.
Damn Karl, that things awesome. Great video. Totally enjoyed watching this video. You always make me look forward to the next video! That's a good thing. Love the channel. Keep On Keeping On Brother! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice video Karl. I'm not a machinist either but worked with some. When you are doing multiple holes in the same place you can put a stop on your mill vice and push the item against it. Saves marking out each item. Drill and tap a thread it the end of the vice jaws to fix a stop to.
Nicely Done ! ! ! Having that motor and gear box hanging out in the wind would bug me to no end. I would have had to use a chain and sprocket, which is more complicated, but worth it to me. I would also have to align the two set screws on the dies, so they could both be set and un-set without rolling the dies.
@@MakeItKustom Parallels are precision machined pieces that go in the vice to set the work piece on. Think of it as presetting the height. Makes sure your holes are drilled straight. I prefer a vice mounted stop but they both do the same thing. Just makes a hard stop to set the work against so you don't have to keep lining up the drill. Vice mounted one won't take you more than a 1/2 hour to make out of scrap and you'll wonder how you ever did without it.
This dude is awesome 😎👍 he tries to help others he is a metal genius you can tell he is a really nice guy I don't have but 2 TH-cam creators that I would like to meet and this guy is one of them and the other is Cletus McFarland, Garrett I hope to meet y'all one day
nice video. i don't think i'll be making one as i have a million other jobs on the go but i liked the idea of putting a cut through plate steel to bend it, that ones logged in the brain matter. i also like your workshop. would love it.
hello Carl, you are not only an amazing humbled guy, but your metal work is also super great. Thank you so much for putting so many great videos on youtube. Learning is fun, especially from a pro like you. You should teach in a vocational school, God bless you and your family
Yay!!! my chows woke me up from a dead sleep at 4am (c).. and come to find out you just released a hour ago.. Wish my older brother (51) was as cool as you are (he's on one of his "hate the world and everyone in it moods".. lol)
@@MakeItKustom yeah I watched it.. lol I wonder how well it'll do made out of 8 inch C channel (atleast its straight) compared to my 7 x 12ft 1/4" rusted plate in a shape of a banana.. lol
Took me all day to watch this, I got a good bit in before work then a tease at dinner break, then Finally got to finish it up to cap off my Friday evening 👍
@40:00 I make the bend slits go from one side almost all the way to the other, using only material-thickness setback from the edges. Then put in the hydraulic finger break. Then tack angle in place and weld the bend fully. That extra 1/4" tab between your slits made it kinda tough, or maybe your press was out of commission. I'm using the swag offroad finger break kit on a HF 20ton upgraded press.
The coupler on the Eastwood is known as a Lovejoy coupler. Lovejoy is actually the brand name, and many other brands are out there. Another great video Karl.
I'm thinking you need to start giving credits for your sound tracks. I'm digging the tunes you've been using! Oh and thanks for all the stuff you've been teaching me over the years!
I have the Eastwood setup for my garage. Im just starting out and didn’t want to make my own. I’m getting a feel for how the machine works and becoming more comfortable using it. Even though I currently won’t be making my own, your video gave me a way better understanding on the setup of this tool and what to look for when operating one. Yes the video is long, but totally worth it! Thanks!
Great stuff Karl Think I’ll grab a motor drive from Eastwood like this and just use it in a harbor freight bead roller for now . Your machine is exciting as it’s a rugged tool Looking for your pull max build Cool stuff !
Men you rock I’m learning a lot with your shows.
I finally sweet talked a buddy that has a plasma cutter and he cut out all of the pieces for me… now i get to weld it all together! SOOOO EXCITED!!!!!
The peace between the motor and the tool is a Lovejoy Coupler
For the love of joy!

hello Carl, you are not only an amazing humbled guy, but your metal work is also super great. Thank you so much for putting so many great videos on youtube. Learning is fun, especially from a pro like you. You should teach in a vocational school, God bless you and your family
Yay!!! my chows woke me up from a dead sleep at 4am (c).. and come to find out you just released a hour ago.. Wish my older brother (51) was as cool as you are (he's on one of his "hate the world and everyone in it moods".. lol)
Oh man hopefully you didn’t watch it that early in the morning! Lol
@@MakeItKustom yeah I watched it.. lol I wonder how well it'll do made out of 8 inch C channel (atleast its straight) compared to my 7 x 12ft 1/4" rusted plate in a shape of a banana.. lol
That is very impressive my friend looks the bees knees great video again
Thank you Karl...you are awesome...and a hell of a fabricator ...that bead roll turned out great....love your channel...
Keep coming bro
..
Thanks Gregory! Cheers!
Took me all day to watch this, I got a good bit in before work then a tease at dinner break, then Finally got to finish it up to cap off my Friday evening 👍
Right on Tom cat! Stoked you got to see it all. Brenda says hi!
@@MakeItKustom well hello back sweet lady B ☺️
Thank you so much for the video. And thanks for the files and part numbers too. Awesome video.
You’re so welcome and I hope that they are useful to you!
Thank you for all you do. This was great, all your videos are great
Thanks Karl! Nicely done. 👍🏼
Wow, another great video on how to build a homemade tool for the shop 😀, well done 👏
Thank you so much!
Awesome video I think I've watched every video on your channel, always cool to see other folks in Canada doing some awesome stuff...
Wicked man glad to hear it! Cheers!
Never too long on this channel. Thanks man
You’re welcome Darren thanks for watching
You need a jack hidrolic bender :) You can weld up right short rods on top of the machine to hold your pieces.
GREAT video and AWESOME Build. I really was hoping to see the build of your first bead roller with the AC motor
Maybe in the future I’ll collect enough parts to make one solely from scrap stuff and found components.
Maybe just highlight the differences between your original and the "Upgraded Beadroller"? Its a great great video, and I LOVE the build!
Love all of your videos, especially the budget tool builds. Keep ‘em coming!
@40:00 I make the bend slits go from one side almost all the way to the other, using only material-thickness setback from the edges. Then put in the hydraulic finger break. Then tack angle in place and weld the bend fully. That extra 1/4" tab between your slits made it kinda tough, or maybe your press was out of commission. I'm using the swag offroad finger break kit on a HF 20ton upgraded press.
The coupler on the Eastwood is known as a Lovejoy coupler. Lovejoy is actually the brand name, and many other brands are out there. Another great video Karl.
Ha ha makes sense doesn’t it!? Lol
Awesome bud and hopefully can get to building one soon
I'm thinking you need to start giving credits for your sound tracks. I'm digging the tunes you've been using! Oh and thanks for all the stuff you've been teaching me over the years!
I have the Eastwood setup for my garage. Im just starting out and didn’t want to make my own. I’m getting a feel for how the machine works and becoming more comfortable using it. Even though I currently won’t be making my own, your video gave me a way better understanding on the setup of this tool and what to look for when operating one. Yes the video is long, but totally worth it! Thanks!
That’s awesome! And since you have one already if you want to upgrade it, you have many of the parts
Thanks for video,great tutorial.With out your video I could not build this on my own. , Country boy from North Carolina thanks you
You’re so welcome!
brilliant show I watch every one .
Any great job by a man with mad skills. These videos are so educational to me as I am a beginner at this metal working thing. Thank you Karl.
You’re so welcome!
That roller is awesome
What a cool collaboration! Thanks for sharing!
Great stuff Karl
Think I’ll grab a motor drive from Eastwood like this and just use it in a harbor freight bead roller for now .
Your machine is exciting as it’s a rugged tool
Looking for your pull max build
Cool stuff !
