About 15 years ago, I bought one of the cheap plate-type bead rollers for a project that never happened. It never worked very well, so was abandoned outside.
It resurfaced as part of my recent Grand Clear UpTM together with some suitable material to add much needed rigidity. So some cutting and welding turned a couple of grotty bits of angle-iron that had spent 50 years as fence posts into something useful:
back together
I'll probably build a stand for it - some scrounged gate post welded to a wheel is most likely - and motorise it with a small 12v winch motor when I can afford one. That's when I'll consider painting it
I do have some stock to make a pair of tipping dies for starting curved flanges, and a sliding work fence is easy, so they're probably next
