Mostly all done with the stump and hammer. Smoothed it out on the English wheel. Used the skills I learned in your class at Dan's in Minnesota

Ya,
Now I have to work on getting that bead roller motorized because the crank is too long of a reach for one man to operate and handle the metal at the same time I am thinking of using a treadmill motor and controller.

John, you could always adapt an old car steering wheel as a crank wheel for the bead roller? Very easy to do and very precise compared to crank handle.
