When the tool you need doesn’t exist what do you do?…… you make it!
I found myself needing to try and get the rest quarter better but I wasn’t happy with my outcome so I spent no more than a hour making what I think is this really handy and great idea that is a mini mobile English wheel that you can apply right to the source of the damage.
I was over the moon with the outcome and I’m sure I’ll use this a lot more in the future.
Oh and sorry for calling It mole grips and not a C-clamp 🤦‍♂️

@xmo552 Год назад

Yessss sacrifice some roller blade or skateboard wheels. Now we're cooking.

@paulpaintshop103 Год назад

Skateboard wheels, you can get lots of different densities of them, and they all mount the same way. I use them on my bead roller.

@markfoulston897 Год назад

awesome little tool, I bet you will constantly find uses for it

@Metal_shaper_tom 2 года назад

Cheers Danny, yeah this one will definitely come in handy!

@asimpson164 Год назад

If you had a way to swap out the rollers that could also be an edge roller (bead roller?). Just the powered ones but handheld. Don't forget to let us know when those get mass produced so the non-welders can have one too.

@Metal_shaper_tom Год назад

Yeah good idea. Unfortunately I just don’t have the time to develop it at the moment

@65cj55 2 года назад

Very Resourceful.

@slottmachine51 2 года назад

Specs on the bearings and bar stock?

@Metal_shaper_tom 2 года назад

@JB-qb8xy Год назад

Maui ask why you used a tig welder when a stick welder could of gotten a bigger it and been stronger? Still new to this why I’m asking.

@Metal_shaper_tom Год назад

But Tig is strong enough for this process,it’s quick, easy, strong and clean . I haven’t used stick in over 20 years

@jackpaddon5026 2 года назад

Genius 👌

@jfair7050 Год назад

I know you wouldn't be able to control the pressure, but I wonder if you could get a similar result, with one of the "wheels" having neodymium magnets inside and no physical connection between the two? It would allow better access in some cases..

@Metal_shaper_tom Год назад

That’s a new one on me!
