I'm 71 years old, have been working on cars my whole life and I learn something from you each time I watch a video. You're not only a very bright young man but your demeanor and the way you come across on camera makes your videos that much more fun to watch. I was sorry to hear about the issues you're facing with your shop but I have an idea everything is going to work out for you both. Keep up the good work. We appreciate all you do.

Scroll down thru his videos. He has 5 videos on using the bead roller. If I recall correctly, the one where he helps a buddy make a rear door for his camper so the best “101” type video.

Thumbs up for the volume of your intro/outro music not being twice as loud as the content!

It's great that you are so humble and can relate to those of us that have a tight budget for our projects. The high budget build shows are cool to watch, but unrealistic for so many people. I watch videos like yours so much more closely because you show things I could actually attempt myself. Keep up the great work! Very motivating content.

Thanks a lot for the feedback man I’m glad you are enjoying this so are we👊👊👊

👍👍😎👍👍 thanks for the details. I think you answered all the question I could think of. Looking forward to the new bead roller build.

Your videos are great! The two bead roller episodes are really appreciated! Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hey Karl, it's always good to see how home built bead rollers are made. I've got the gears from a lathe machine and turned down the metre long round bar to accept the gears, I'm using needle roller bearings which are a push fit in the alloy blocks... Then I gave up and bought a cheap Chinese one to get some panels did on a project.. You've inspired me to get back into making it👍, many cheers from Adelaide Australia

I like all of your tools that you use to build beautiful pieces of art. The bead roller is a very nice tool you built. Keep up the great work Karl.

Very well done!!! You sure do have a good way of explaining the mechanisms and the details. Thank you

Awesome, good on you for sharing your wealth of knowledge, speaks to your character. Love the channel!!!

Every time I watch you I learn something. I’ve been working on cars since 1977. What’s crazy you remember me of my nephew that lives in San Diego. He’s half Japanese.

I like how you were able to extend the capabilities;y of a stock bead roller with some simple tools etc.

Top shelf, No dust. Really like your channel. Thank you!

Thanks for this video! I currently am using a motorized version of the cheap bead roller, powered by a 1/2" drill motor with a foot control. Your version looks like a great way to upgrade.

great videos, they are entertaining as well as informative. I particularly like your bead roller but as a structural engineer, I suggest a couple of points. the most highly stressed points of the bead roller is at the internal throat of the two arms and at the mounting of the bearing blocks adjacent to the rollers. the most load would be carried by the top and bottom extremes of the arms and not the side plates. Therefore it improves the capacity of the arms to box in the arms, all round. Although it may be a bit more work, I propose that the side walls could be made out of 3/16th steel plate rather than 1/4 inch. and the top and bottom of both arms are boxed in with 1/4 plate. to box in the throat, I suggest widening the gap you have by 1/2 inch to allow for the boxing flange. overall with a bit more fabrication, the bead roller will be lighter, cheaper, stronger and closed in to prevent dust and rubbish building up inside the arms as well as not needing to get a coat of paint on the inside. when I build odd items I like closing them in as it looks neater. again great work.

3/16th would make a big difference to cost here in UK but in states when he made that i presume it cost buttons and he got from scrap. I've noted what you said thanks

Thank you. Look forward to the new bead roller build!

I’ve just come across your channel. It’s fantastic! I’m going to learn an awful lot from someone who really knows what they are doing. Keep up the good work.

Gotta say man you've got the skills and the talent and have made half a workshop worth of tools that all work great, and this one is no exception, definitely one of the most beastly, chunky bead rollers I've seen haha. You may not have had all the tools and money to get what you wanted back when you started your shop, but you made do and the quality of your workmanship in all the stuff you do tells me that people should be lining up around the block for your work! Here's hoping that Japhands goes on well into the future, because with higher quality tools and more cash, I can only imagine the absolutely insane, awesome builds you'll come out with. Cheers man, and thanks for the video!

Great job Karl on the diy bead roller. I found your channel a couple weeks ago, I subscribed and now binge watch your videos when I have a chance. Have a great day.

I made plans to build a roller using a single plate,I have changed my mind after watching your tutorial on yours,it will be patterned similar to the one you have made,I really like 👍 the way you have made yours using two plates,again well done 👏, love the fact you have given dimensions for building the tool,fantastic!

Another awesome video!!! Can't wait for the builder video. Love your channel. Looking forward to tool builds and car/motorcycle builds. Keep it coming, I can't get enough! Love your attitude and persona.

I have seen this in several of your vids and did not realize how basic the design was until you went into the details. This is super easy to make. I like others have the 1/2" plate version but this would be so much better! Thank you!

Thanks for doing this video, it just goes to show what you can make with basic tools.

Very well explained & easy to understand! Encourages people to have the confidence to make equipment to make panels,also ressuect & keep this industry growing! Well done.

I really like your KZread channel cuz you explain things you're an awesome teacher thank you so much I have a 1976 Olds Cutlass it needs floor pans I want to make my own so now I know what I'm going to have to do thank you so much awesome videos keep going

Another really cool video! can’t wait to see you make another bead roller and share the DXF files thank you for sharing your knowledge !👍

Great presentation, a real car guy without the extra drama. Thanks from Santa Ana,Cal.

It's always good to by a cheap anything tool, and find what you hate or like. Also you have a porotype to start from when building.

Probably said this before cause you re my favorite fab show and watch MIK every day on my phone during my lunch, you got the knack for teaching and inspiring Karl. Can’t wait till you build the new one. Santo probably can’t wait either!!

Thanks I was just looking to buy a bead roll this helps a bunch probably just gonna get a cheap small one for now and build it up like you have shown

Big compliment: I'm from Germany. If we want to get detailled informations about metalworks, we have to watch American videos. But unfortunally many great guys talk to fast. So I have often difficulties to understand at least half of it. This guy gives great explanations and I can understand every single word. and I like the low budget style as long it has good results.

Yes. After watching you use that tool on your door panels, definitely wanted to know more about it.

Sweet tutorial boss. Would love to see you film a build.

Very simple explanation, the concept is the same as any fancy beat rollers. Is simple, works well and is cheap. If you have any 3/8 plates you should be able to used for the same design. The ac motor could be use and add a controller but all depend how much money you have available, like you say the DC variable speed it's so much better.Great video stay safe and healthy. Thanks 😊

I’ve been waiting for this video!

Great video. Space is a premium in my shop. I mounted my bead roller on an engine stand. On the bottom of my bead roller I put a chop saw. When I need the chop saw I just rotate so the chop saw is now on the top. The biggest problem I had with my bead roller was side to side movement. The 2" plate cured that. If you stay with the manual drive make a large wheel instead of a crank to drive it. Thank you very much for sharing your great talent and for your fantastic film crew.

You built it out of necessity... I genuinely respect you and your drive. Thank you for sharing such great content. Side note: I would enjoy seeing a full build of a custom bead-roller if you're inclined to do so!

Awesome man! I've been wanting to build a power beadroller!

Great video Karl! The gears are manufactured by Martin gear company..they are not terribly expensive... any reputable bearing and power drive company should be able to get them..maybe Mc master Carr too. A big advantage of the wide tooth gears are they don't have to be meshed the full width of the tooth...this means you can slide the stationary shaft in and out to adjust die clearance or make a different profile. If you made another block and moved the lock collars on each side of that block mounted inside the frame of the machine somewhere in between the 2 bushings.. cut a simple slot in the frame , add a locking bolt with a handle through it and you now have up to an inch or more in and out adjustment. As for a cheap motorization solution...Harbor Frieght sells a low speed, high torque, heavy duty 1/2" variable speed, reversible drill.. it's the one with the D- handle on the back. It's got several mounting locations for the side handle so it's relatively easy to bolt to the bead roller frame via some brackets.. I used a 110 tooth #35 roller chain sprocket but a much less expensive way is to use a flex plate and starter gear. If you can mount the starter gear on a 1/2" shaft you simply tighten it up in the drill chuck. The trickiest thing is probably making a hub for the flex plate and having it run true... definitely possible with simple tools with a little careful planning... Lastly, Miller Brothers is now offering bead roller dies with the Lazze profiles.. Lazze's dies are awesome all different sizes and radius.. and half profiles on the female dies.. I'm not sure what the shaft size is off the top of my head but Lazze dies from him are 20 mm.. too small for most bead rollers. Hope this helps you and/ or your viewers. I'll be looking forward to the new bead roller build.
