Howdie from Canada 🇨🇦 Sk glad found ya down to earth kinda guy ya make it work with what ya got and ya don't need too be rocket scientist to understand what your doing thks for sharing your project with us ya got this keep them coming l,m making this it's needed badly for fender building and floors and projects in the present so congrats thks😊
Thanks! My projects are on hold as I moved from U.S.A (kansas) to Christchurch New Zealand. I'm still trying to sort things out before I start posting again
Working on something similar atm, also scrap so still need a bearing or 2 and also at least 1 sprocket. If you take the ends of the sheet and give them a nice bend by having it just touching both bottom rollers and clamping down the top one before you curve the rest of it you will get less flat sheet on the ends. Takes some trail and error but works. For that reason i wont be putting my rollers closer together, infact im putting them wider. Have real big pipe for rollers, so will have to experiment a bit. Hope you are still at it!
Thanks, my brother did a great job building this! We always try to share what little knowledge we have and also maybe someone will learn from our mistakes. Can't wait to put it to use!
Fantastic build, one of these is on our build list. I am surprised the top roller started to flex. If you went with a two inch top roller do you think that would overcome the issue of the flat bits at the end?
Yeah we were surprised that the top roller started flexing. I don't know if a 2" roller on top would make a difference or not, we have a idea of puting a stationary rod between the 2 bottom rollers, we think that might help to roll the ends of the metal. I will probably do a update video on it when we fix it

Excellent idea and definitely a useful tool to have at the shop. Thank you for sharing. 👍👍👍👍👍
Looks great and seems to work pretty darn good. And it is actually made of scrap instead of remnants of new steel.
Oh! thanks for the video

Thanks for the advice, good luck on your roller!
Nice job! Great ingenuity. I am impressed with the fact that you go a further step to show how to even make it better. Bravo!

Nice build. I grew up using scrap out of the pile. It is amazing what a person can use if ya got the want to.
Yes it's amazing what you can find in a scrap pile. However I think we need to restock ours cause it's getting sparse lol
Thanks for watching
The 2 bottom rollers each carry 25% of the load. The top roller carries 50%. Having a stronger top roller is important.
