Lately (Dec. 07) I bought HF's English wheel on cut-rate sale. I had bought their bead roller on a 1/2 cost sale a couple eld antecedent, but it had just laid up on a shelf fresh. I was getting ready to start body work on my lakester and came up with the idea of mounting the bead roller (socialistic arrow) on the end of the English wheel since I'm noncomprehensive on shop space. Likewise in the picture is my "$5000.00" drum roll around creature box every bit a booster calls it. I just mounted a piece of plywood on a 2 wheeler and put the tools on that. Except for more or less other sockets and screwdrivers these are the tools that I physical body everything with and most of them come from a $50 Sears tool box kit I bought in 1964 while in the USN.

.....................................

Prior to this I had only used the bead rolling wave on a couple pieces of test metal, but had heard that they could use some reinforcement. I drew up a corbel on cardboard to cram full scale and cut pieces of 1 inch square tubing to fit the template.

.....................................

Where the square tubing would hit the bead roller I inserted some 3/16 inch strap to help with that integrated and to speed up lying.

.....................................

Here is the reinforced beadwork roller connected the end of the English Wheel.

....................................

Also to make better use of the English Wheel I inserted a piece of plywood in the lower set forth for my body hammers and dollies.

....................................

I was imagine to get the English Wheel lower anvil dies (#95366) that come in the rack where the backside left arrow is, but the trucking company lost those and HF is in the process of re-sending them. I also made a place to computer memory the unneeded mandrels that come with the bead tumbler pigeon (pinch left and right arrows). I welded two tabs onto the roulette wheel, one with a slot in it (liberal side) and unmatched with a hole in it (proper side). A rod with a nut welded on the end goes through the tab with the hole in IT and over to the slotted tab. You can pick the gat up connected the unexpended broadside and slide mandrels on OR off.

....................................

Spell I was voidance my checking account I also bought on that point $200 planishing hammer (top left pointer) that was on sale for $99 and their shrinker/stretcher set (top right pointer) that was also connected sale for $199. I decorated the planishing hammer connected the upper side of one goal of the sheet of paper metal press pasture brake that I had built a number of years past ( HERE ) and the coping ston/shrinker jazz group on the other end. The shrinker faces to one side and the stretcher faces to the other side. I mounted them to a post that can be unbolted from the brake. That way I could put the post in a bench vise or loan the set to somebody else and they could mount them in a vise. Also in the picture at the lower left is a Lincoln® Precision TIG® 225. I can't commend this tig likewise highly. I lovemaking it and if I can weld with it anyone can. Check the aluminum welds I was able to doh the first time I tried. To be fairish I had been welding sword with it for a couple months at this point.
