My new roller

[Scratch]

I needed a slip roller for rolling 3/16" steel, 1/2" wide into 16" circles. Saw a design I liked in a shop magazine but didn't like the 700.00 price.

I got less than 30 bucks into it, it's not perfect, but rolls real easy and works better than I thought it would. Just gotta throw some paint on it now and clean it up a little.

Thought I'd post a pic...




I wanna make one for wider stuff now. Like 12". Anybody have any pics of one?

Very nice!
I like the tires in the background too. The tread on the sidewalls make them look mean (and expensive). Who made them?
Thanks,
