Installed the other bead detail, just have a little metalfinishing to to, and weld the cleco holes and then it's ready for final trim. #handmade #sheetmetalfabrication #metalshaping #watervlietplanishinghammer #planishinghammer #metalfinishing #blackhawkbantam #toolbox #torpedo #beadtooling #beadingdie #powerhammer #quickworkpowerhammer https://www.instagram.com/p/BoANJ8-HSBo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1gbkcsv2qu8ly

Installing some beads in this forward floor pan/toeboard I'm making for the '48 Chevy I'm working on. Used my beading/coining dies in my Nibbler Medium. Pre-stretched beforehand and they came out nice and flat!. #beadtooling #beadingdie #pullmax #nibblermedium #floorbeads #floorpan #sheetmetalfabrication #sheetmetalshaping #metalshaping #planishinghammer #watervlietplanishinghammer #prestretch #coiningdies #handmade #fabrication #sheetmetal #48chevy https://www.instagram.com/p/BvK0svrhOAU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15nhg5hj07hgh

Finished the machining of all the lower die holders, and started on the tool posts. My 4 jaw scroll chuck is definitely handy in this case! #pullmax #beadingdie #beadtooling #manualmachinist #manuallathe #southbend #bridgeport #beltsander #metalshaping #sheetmetalfabrication

While the cnc shop is working in the dies, I've gotten started machining the handles and die holders. #handmade #manualmachinist #manuallathe #manualmilling #bridgeport #brownandsharpe #surfaceplate #heightgauge #pullmax #beadingdie #metalshaping

Over a year after making my first set, my larger beading dies are finally a reality. As I can't count how many hours these damn things took to machine manually, I'm looking into getting them cnc machined. Should hopefully have some answers in a month or two. This set will be listed on ebay around the same time. Details to follow, for anyone that maybe interested. Bead sizes are 1", 3/4", 5/8", 1/2", 3/8", and 1/4". #pullmax #beadroller #beadingdie #yoder #powerhammer #quickwork #sheetmetalfabrication #planishinghammer #restoration #manualmachinist #bridgeport #millingmachine #lathe

The result after a quick bit of metalfinishing. Not perfect looking down in the bead, but after some primer it should turn out ok. #sheetmetalfabrication #metalshaping #metalfinishing #blackhawkbantam #torpedo #toolbox #handmade #beadtooling #beadingdie #planishinghammer #watervlietplanishinghammer #pullmax https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn_pIeVHpVf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=bdbdfcwhbhsj
