If anyone wants to build one like this, my advice is get started, just PM me with any questions, or ask them here, I'll be glad to help. Since I just finished the build, I still have the dimensions in my head, maybe for another week or two at least!

Mike, the wheeling is not at all difficult to do. The biggest thing is probably what Don mentioned, keeping your fingers out of the way.

I'm thinking about building a powered bead roller soon. I made a little hand tool for folding or hemming the edges. It works OK, but what a tedious procedure that is!

If you would like to move forward with a nice 3D model and drawing package all I would need is a rough sketch with as many dimensions as you can muster. I might pester you later for detail or missing dims as the model progresses, but it should be relatively painless. I'm not sure I would build one, but I want to keep my SolidWorks skills sharp, and this looks like it would be fun. No pressure, its your design/adaptation and will always remain that way. If you want to document it for the masses, I'm willing to donate the time.
