Building a Cheap Power Driven Bead Roller
Vložit
- čas přidán 4. 09. 2024
- I picked up this harbor freight metal bead roller for $150, it had a manual crank that was next to impossible to use by yourself. I had some scrap parts laying around. lets see what we can build with them to make this bead roller more useful.
Listening to storm Keira beat the crap out of my building, with very high winds, watching a genius on the other side of the sea make cool stuff happen.
Same here :)
Likewise it’s bloody windy on the south coast.
@Wayne Lee Ramsden Same in Denmark.
Blown out here in the Netherlands. Expected to be 10 Bofors it might hit 11 out on the Northsea. So it is an indoor Sunday enjoying Mustie. We call it Ciara by the way. Same storm in Germany is called Sabine. Someone bought it for €240’-. Smart move by the Met office.
Jup, same in Belgium
" I could put some guards on it , but the whole thing is basically a guillotine ", . I laughed so hard, I spilled my coffee !!! Great outcome from a pretty limited machine, to a really useable machine, with a little tinkering. Great video !!
Reminds me of a video i saw a year or three back, Alex Jones was throwing a fit because he'd seen the National Guard had bought three thousand guillotines
"They'ye planning on beheading us ALL!!!" He screamed
or they're planning on cutting some paper Alex....

Hey, it's got a reverse, you can always back your finger out of it.
Hahaha. Mustie says ‘pardon me’ when he walks in front of the camera. What a gentleman!
Mustie, I found your channel about a year or a year and a half ago, and have enjoyed everything you've put out there. Thank you for making these videos, and for proving that you don't have to rely on someone else to build your solution to a problem for you, or buy something to replace what you have that isn't working right. I just wish I had your mechanical knowledge and experience.
and a good shop to do it in lol
Love the upgrade to the bead roller made from scrap parts that were on hand. This is why I eagerly look forward to every new video.
Frankenstein lives! Mustie is great. I know I will never even attempt to do what he does but it's the problem solving skills I learn from him. They apply everywhere.
I love the Bob Ross reference; "A lovely tree right here." LOL. You'd be a hoot to hang around with! Imaginative and resourceful.
Nicely done. I like it. A couple things I would add would be a lamp, possibly with the magnifying lens, to see better, a couple wheels to move it around with a handle on the front when rolling it around. The easiest way I would think to add wheels would be an angled piece along the front base pieces where at rest, the wheels would be off the ground, and when tilted forward, the wheels would roll. I was thinking of a handle to help control moving it around and one of those 'D' handles off an old short shovel welded to the vertical post. Just some thoughts and always a pleasure when you share your ways when working your way through obstacles that cross your path. Thanks for sharing.
That took sheer genius to come up with something like that I would have never thought of doing something like that. Just love the stand that you came up with makes it easier to operate. Darren Keep building creations like this and giving others ideas. how to make their shop a easier place to work. Thank you kind sir for all you do.
Brilliant! There is nothing better than Yankee ingenuity! Wranglerstar makes fun of east coast guys, says they are blockheads, I hope Cody sees this contraption! It is so fantastic! Mustie1 has a new vocation, fabricating sheet metal panels! Bravo! I am wheelchair bound and seeing what can be done with a power chair motor is eye opening! I will start making motorized apparatuses! Thanxz
As with everything in a shop "if you don't know what you are doing, don't touch it." Looks like a fine set up to me.
No fake drama, pretense or manipulated tricks, just Mustie thinking things thru and experimenting as he goes. That's why I like this channel so much.
stuff happens , I worked in printing companies most of my life and it was amazing to see some of the ways people figured out how to get caught in the machinery, sometimes the only thing that stopped them from going completely through was that when it got to their shoulder it usually tripped a breaker.
I worked in a printing facility once and those massive presses 3 stories tall with tons of rollers going full speed threading paper at 2000mph still scare the shit out of me to this day just thinking about being remotely near one.
Your something else, I have watched many videos of you and have a lot more to catch up, it's something how you know so much, anything that comes your way you just do it, I admire you. you start a project and tell us I'm not getting to much into this, remember the fire truck that was only used once or twice a year, you did it up like you do everything you fix. your nice to watch and listen to, you make your videos very interesting, and people say shit about you talking to yourself, no your including us making us feel like we're there. I should watch more on the comp instead of the TV.
Great video as always... 100% OSHA compliant...🚑🚑🚑
I've been watching a lot of
Abom79 who seems to have every Starrett gauge available, that he uses to measures everything in thousands of an inch, trues up everything, he even stones the face of his lathe jaws, table, etc to make sure they are pristine and clean, and then I come over here to Mustie1 for a break to see him whack it with a hammer to true it up.... love it!!!
I like both of them!
Great video. Love all your comments you say while making it. You are a true innovator my friend! Taking all those loose parts and making something so functional. Love it!
You should make some jigs to place inside the throat when making straight lines. That way you could also push the piece against the jig while feeding it into the machine.
Many years ago I was working for North American Aviation. We were pioneering the mass production of High Reliability circuit boards. This so reminds me of some of the contraptions that made the stuff that put us on the moon.
Morning coffee with Mustie1 ☕️ 👍🏻. Did a lot of racing stuff back in the day. When building interior panels for cars, a powered bead roller is a necessity. Good work!
The bike is a Raleigh, made in Nottingham, England. Raleigh is famous for it's 1970/1980's Chopper and Grifter.
Thank you for another great video!
great innovating Mustie! always interesting looking over your shoulder.
Your skill in "Yankee Ingenuity" is top notch! I really enjoy watching you channel your inner Dr. Frankenstein when you build something... it is totally fascinating! And the damn things work! It's almost time for Mustie to have his own cable television show!
Bit on the rough side! To run beads closer together turn the dies around narrow edges towards the motor. A piece of flat plastic ( so you can see through it) fitted to the top will save your fingers. You only need a gap of 1/4 above the sheet since any edge fold will be done AFTER beading etc.
or common sense will
not bob I used to believe in common sense also. Then a carpenter who I respected for always stressing safety to the young guys was working late into the night under a dead line and attempted an operation he thought would work but left the halves of two fingers on the table saw. Use a guard. You only need one serious mistake in a whole lifetime of coming close to recognize the folly of thinking it could never happen to you.
@@natalieisagirlnow Common sense is mis-named , it is really very rare.
@@reddymon I wondered wtf a "dead line" was until I realised you meant "deadline".
@@jenksify my definition of common sense is something you learned so long ago that you have forgotten how you learned it, with today's short attention span society I'm afraid common sense is now a lost art form...
Congratulations Mustie on building your very own 'Milton the monster'👏👏👏
Darren that is brilliant, it's perfect for careful work, clever man :-D.
I suggest a battery box behind it and change the battery wires for thicker copper, less loss.
Amazing tool :-D
that is exactly what I am going to do. but you just saved me some time I will be looking for a wheelchair motor. I was looking at gear reduction motors too and that is the best I have seen. thanks for making this one mustie.
Right out of the gate you had better control not having to crank it. Nice mod!!!
Don't know about the green , but red white and blue works for me. Cool project. I seem to remember you making a cover for an air box and hammering the edges. This tool could be used for that and maybe brake dust shields. I think you will find many uses for it. Looking forward to what you cook up next.
Not bad for just throwing a few pieces together. It works better than it did, that's all that matters. Thanks for the video.
I took a page out of your book and started trying to motorize my bead roller. I am going with a garage door opener for my drive. I will use a forward/reverse switch and see if I need a speed controller. Have a 5:1 sprocket ratio with gear reducer. Really find your videos both informative and entertaining, thanks.
I see homemade VW replacement floorpans in your future.
I don't know if you did this on purpose but the forward and reverse switch are incredibly user friendly. If you want to push a piece of metal forward, through the bead roller, the switch lever needs to be facing forward, or into the machine. If you want to pull the bead toward you, or the face of the machine, the toggle switch needs to be facing outward, away from the face of the machine.
I just thought that was a very thoughtful detail that was included into the machine.
one of the better uses of a VW valve cover that I've seen, for sure...
Mustie, you are a genius in my book. Man you can see the potential in so many things. I am amazed by the things you do. Thank you for sharing sir.
Thanks for this video! I would like a video all about vice grips you seem to be a master of them. I have a hard time using them properly and safely..
It's enjoyable to watch someone with imagination and the skills to make it work.
Hey Bro, I was thinking an electric trolling motor rocking foot pedal would work Great for this project .They are rated 12v to 24v DC and have reverse, forward, and off built in . You probably got a half a dozen of them laying around,lol. Should control that motor real nice. Thanks for the Vid. :)
Very cool. This was the kind of inventiveness that I admired in my father. He never saw things for what they were, but instead what they might be able to become. That wheelchair motor was once scrap, but now makes a budget tool far more useful. Awesome stuff.
Very nice build, love the ingenuity here. Don't paint it, it keeps the story as is better.
The power wheelchair motor was a perfect choice. I'm a power chair user and ride a Quantum Q6 Edge chair. It has two drive motors and two 12V gel batteries. I weigh about 180 and the empty chair is about 140lbs. That's 320lbs. total. My van has an in-floor ramp off one side and the chair has no problem whatever getting that load up and down on about a 30+ degree slope. It can handle much greater slopes with ease. Those motors are very torquey.
Just shows that necessity is the mother of invention, nicely fabricobbled together there... :D
Very innovative, and probably better than one built buy a large manufacturer. Hey, all it's got to do is work. If you're careful when you run out of room to turn your piece, you can release the die, rotate the piece, clamp the die back down and keep going, you may need to use reverse. (Coming from someone with some experience with a cheap machine). Love watching you work,
Jimmy
Brilliant job mustie, you knocked that out of the park and saved a lot of cash too. Loved watching the process and learning a lot. Don't change any of the colour cause it shows its genuine home made and it works perfectly. Well done.
A genius at work. I suggest usuing a two-way foot pedal
for using both directions. Our machines used a center-
hinged pedal when you move yourself or get stuck with work
it ommediately stops the motor. Its also some kind of
a security feature on the guillotine. Thanks man, u made
my day.
Good idea with the T handle you made for the tension adjustment
Hey Mustie, Just get a quality anvil and wheelset and build your own english wheel, you can make a very high quality beefy machine for about a grand, plus we get to watch a series of videos of you building it. This is well within your skill set and you will end up with something worth a lot more than any machine you can buy pre-fabbed
The Frankenbeader lives!
Hi Mustie. You could have your cake, and eat it, if you want to. All you need is a couple of bits from a scrapped mobility scooter, and you'll have everything you need for power, speed control and reversibility. Using your existing motor, all you need is the scooter's "throttle pot" (the user's hand control lever) and the PMC unit (the electronic control box). A Curtis PMC is perfect! You can then run at 24V to get all the power you need, while the PMC controls the motor's speed by varying the output pulse width. This gives a constant 24V, but in pulses that have variable duration, to give controllable speed, but still retain the grunt! The pulses are at high frequency so that the motor runs smoothly (no notchiness). The throttle pot is your control lever, and by default, it gives both forward and reverse by simply pushing in the lever either forwards or backwards, like a hydrostatic transmission on a lawn tractor - A lot handier if you did happen to get a glove or shirt sleeve (or perish the thought, a finger) trapped in the rollers - There's no need to lean over and fondle that blade switch, and it makes reversing the work a cinch. Also, you could still build all this into your foot controller.
I think that bike at 3 mins is Raleigh 20. My sister had one. Really heavy I see to remember. I think they are also called Raleigh shoppers and often had a basket at both ends. The 3 speed Sturmey Archer gears kept going wrong.
.. Hehe,.. Yeah, lots of nuts downfall into the frames back in those days! 😭
@@gorgon9786 was the first "proper" bike I rode and cos I was too small for it my junk constantly hit that dam handle on the frame when I'd stop
@@generaldisarray So you wrapped some foam roung it?
When I was a kid my first geared bike had the 3 speed Sturmey Archer and it worked pretty well.
@@gorgon9786 Between 2nd and 3rd my chopper used to slip into, Nuts cracked and over the handle bars, a trip to ER. Happy days
Kudos. You are an American who lives like a New Zealand Kiwi. Fix it, use it, and make it work.
Nice! I like how you engineered out the tools inherent faults, eg the flex of the original top arm with the bar welded to the top etc. I may have to 'borrow' some of your ideas here, hope you dont mind Mustie! 😉
Really cool using parts and pieces from different devices gives you the ability to use two hands to feed metal thru the bead roller.
G'day Kevin here from Australia.
A great lesson in recycling .
The end result a great shop tool.
✌ Peace man
I was thinking of a rocking foot pedal to be able to reverse it with your foot. Making things easier is what makes good tools great. Thanks for sharing.
That’s a Raleigh Bicycle. A British bicycle manufacturer based in Nottingham, England.
Can’t you tell?...... it’s rusty!! Haha!
Duncan Vincent - rusty but still works..
Duncan Vincent glad someone else noticed that haha
I still have one, from 1979, it's not rusty and still in use. Raleigh Twenty (referring to the wheel diameter in inches) or the other derivative known as The Raleigh Shopper (with basket on the front and carrier rack on the back). Both bikes have other derivatives made in the UK and derivatives that were made all over the world.
They even have a racing series in the UK at least.
They have a cult following, are easy to repair, and you can still find new spares for them. Popular also for conversions and customisations using BMX wheels and other BMX parts. I have a work in progress using Skyway BMX plastic wheels.
First built in 1968 in Nottingham, England, it was made officially by Raleigh until 1984 in both folding and Shopper varieties, with Sturmey Archer 3 speed hub gears with some models also having a hub mounted dynamo for powering the lights.
Duncan Vincent I had a Rudge.
Stuart Russell yes. I used to own one of the racing jerseys. A real woolen one!
Great job! So resourceful. I would suggest adding angle iron reinforcing to the bottom arm as well. Both arms would flex equally. A pedal of some sort coupled to the speed switch would give finer control.
I have one of those folding Raleigh bikes in the store room, still using it.
You are going to want forward, reverse, and speed control all on the pedal.
All you need to do is paint the green shaft white and you will have a red, white and blue contraption. You turned a cheap Chinese thing into a innovative American style tool. Loved the VW valve cover for a foot switch holder.
Yeah, it's really handy when you have a friend to 'crank the handle' for ya ;)
That's a helluva friend
Hey guy's who wants to come to my place and crank a handle? Guy's...guy's.......

I thought it was a wiper motor at first glance which would probably do the job as well and are readily available on line for not much money.. Another great innovation Mustie !
A sewing machine foot pedal might make a good variable speed switch.
Wayne Hames, Darned good idea. And it would probably have more fine speed control
Yep ! I use that on some of shop tools. Works great but pissed off the wife 😡 when she found out !! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking same thing and since it's my machine there's no one to get pi$$ed at me. Just have to think of stuff the rest of the parts an be used for. Gives me an excuse to buy a new one. LOL
Beat me to it, I was thinking the same thing!
@@marcryvon Because she has the experience with a sewing machine pedal. Now she can work in the shop with you, No Excuses.
I like the Eastwood setup (little less of a balancing act) but you are kind of committed to working at one speed to stay fluid but this is probably the best working DIY setup I've seen.
You should enter your go cart in jimmy diresta’s race coming up at his newly acquired go cart track. It’s a race between content creators.
The machine came out better than i would have imagined and recycling other parts to make up a great and safer machine.Great job.
Sewing machine peddle, for your volume speed control? Hands free control. Nice job
Me too.
Sewing machines run on universal AC motors.
@@Mentorcase So he would have to use the sewing machine motor also?
The thing is a sewing machine motor works on high volts and low amps but that setup is low volts and high amps, the sewing machine pedal can't handle the amps.
@@Mentorcase ???
Awesome job!! The knife switch is the cherry on the sundae. Well done!
The Chinese are stealing your design as we speak. Good things come to good people, you’re good people. Thanks for the video.
To busy making masks...
The VW rocker cover might slow them down a bit
@@davidcatanach2620 They will probably use one from a Gonow.
Brilliant idea, Darren !! Kudos and respect !
A see saw pedal would be nice, at least having forward and reverse on/off control with free hands maybe?
Now that is a great idea !! Could perhaps use two speed controls, one for forward, one for reverse.
Yes. I was thinking a on button, an off button, forward-reverse toggle button and something like a pedal to control speed, all mounted on a foot board. Master power somewhere else. Ideally, it would be nice to be able to operate this without having to constantly use your foot, which I imagine gets tiring and precludes moving your body. Long panels could be difficult to bead roll if you're in the way.
That's not a knife, This is a knife. Great video 👌 love the ingenuity. It's just not a Sunday without my Mustie1.
"the whole thing is a guillotine"....lol, I literally burst out laughing....thanks for the video!!!
Nice work, delivered in typical good-natured Mustie fashion.
The level of talent you have never ceases to amaze me. Keep up the good work.
A good habit: I don't leave home without a knife. Greetings from Poland
Here we goooo! New Mustie1 video!
Nice "custom" tool addition to the shop Mustie1. Helps having a "stash" for parts. Great job!

People laughing at me because of things I collect related to my "combination" and deferent activities, anything repairable from simple electrical work to the hard electronic trouble shooting, restoration and more, never stop thinking and use whatever I have to made something useable from collected items, from scratch like you, love your ideas, awesome work and clever thinking, yours like a ancient stone age design but works flawlessly, nothing fancy and with little improvement it is a "perfect call" with good result.
Definitely more usable now.
Just brilliant! You have what New Zealanders call a "number 8 wire mentality"..... In spades👍

Raleigh.... Nottingham England..... very British.
Are they still made there??
@@shanekneeshaw3483 I think it all came to an end sometime in the early 2000's.
Back in the day we'd use up our extra tile of different shapes & colors on maybe a floor or tub enclosure.. Twas called a rainbow job.. That's what your build reminds me of.. A fabricobbled unique enginerded piece of usable equipment. Don't ya just love it when ya hit the proper speed right out of the starting gate. Great vijayo, but waiting for ya to let the smoke out.. Thanks. K
ROFL, "The whole thing is a guillotine".
glad to see your still doing stuff I am still going through your old stuff
Mustie the bike is a Raleigh Twenty it’s British built in the 70’s I think
i think they were called Safari bikes
I had a Raleigh clone of the Schwinn Stingray back in the early-mid 70’s. It was metallic gold with chrome fenders and matching banana seat. It was a good 5 speed bicycle with a stick shifter, but it was never as cool as the Stingray 😥Pops couldn’t afford the Schwinn, but I loved my Raleigh. RIP Dad.
WayneRite wow 5 speed. I thought they all was three. Remember the small chain going into the wheel hub and to set it you wound in the chain for tension.
I ended up with a RSW14 I used to pull wheelies all the way to the end of my street.
Yea and there probably worth a few coin today
WayneRite Raleigh chopper maybe
Well done Darrin. Always thinking outside the box. Very inspirational.
what is the deal with carrying a knife like that around INSIDE your shop ?
Sharting Khumbubbles You never know when a grizzly bear will ramble through
Great choice for the motor!!! Those things are well built, smooth with tons of torque and very happy at ulta low rpm!!!
It only needs an AvE sticker like "don't stick your fingie where you don't stick your dinkie"...
The ingenuity that you have,so neat. So glad I found you’re channel several years ago😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Just goes to show the value of saved junk parts.
I alternate between Mustie1 videos and the show Hoarders. When world's Collide. (Though it's not hoarding if you actually use the shite and have the space!) Butr nothing like 2 hours of Hoarders to let me fill up a bag of crap I can live without. Tools though are the hardest thing to ever let go! But do I need 78 screwdrivers? Side Note. old wrenches make the best sounding windchimes in the world.
THANK YOU...for sharing. Watched and very much enjoyed.
OK, got a question Mustie???? What's with the Bowie knife??? notice last few episodes, Musties packing around a Bowie knife?
More like a K bar knife. I have one from the jungles of Viet Nam
I've been wondering that too. Maybe his new shop is in the middle of a jungle, with a swamp outback. So he might be scared the swampthing will come after him. Or congress. lol
Perhaps it's his ultra ego "Mustie Dundee" lol🤣
That's a pretty good little build there mustie.
Been subscribed for a long while and just had to sub again. Ive had several channels get un subbed, just a FYI incase u loose subs or someone else has the same issue.
Ingenious Darren! A huge thumbs up! You are a thinking man. A great man I would love to get to know. I'm sure you could teach me a lot on just about anything. Kudos again to you!! 👍👍👍
