Bead rolling without a bead roller

This is a short video that Steve at StevesProMetal did. Very interesting to see what a talented guy can do without a bead roller in a short time.

Thanks for sharing that, good insight into what to use. Cool. JW

 

I actually met Steve at his shop, I had picked up a Hemi over by Pittsburgh and stopped by his shop on the way home. He was in Danville at the time, very talented/ He was doing a Willys panel among other things at the time.

 

Good video......several useful tips......thanks for posting.

 

Yes, extremely talented, and a great guy! Still in Danville, Pa. He's building a '55 gasser for a customer now, and all the interior metal will be left bare to show the metal work. This picture is from his build thread on Gasserhotrods.com

 

I was wondering how I was wondering how I was going to do that, now I know. Simple yet affective.

 

Nice size shop, and very organized, and obviously real talent

 

impressive, I would have never thought of that, now I cant wait to try it!

 

I call that hammerforming. You can get amazing results with simple hand tools.
This was done with an aluminum form, and of course is a more complicated shape. First part I ever did.

 

Very good piece of information some days it pays to check out the HAMB!

 

wow-that turned into a 2 hour you tube distraction.

 

awesome fab Thanks for sharing!

Great info. I know I have a use for it.

 

I have used this technique in the past,,but not near as in depth as Steve's meticulous way of accomplishing a certain look.

Mine were using a simple round stock and transforming a piece of metal that would never be seen once the car was finished.

This man is a true craftsman and it would almost be a sin to hide his work.

Thank you for posting,I have defiantly learned something today. HRP
