OK. And the rollers in the box let it do flat stock. Must mave been used for some fine material I'm guessing as the top roller just has spring tension.

No sir.
That top roller has a pusher lock bolt to hold it in place.
Right under your thumb or the one next to it.
Look at it again.

The wife just called dibs on it. Said she can do something with it. I'm sure she will let me borrow it.
Thank you for you're insight

Really cool. I also have a 36" roller/bender which would be cool for some of the projects u pictured.

That's a good start.
At the end of the day a guy needs the right tools. Without them it's a struggle and not worth it.
You also need the time and sometimes a small amount of money to do a project. Time seems to be the one that always ends a project and kills it. I hate having a million projects. I focus on one and complete it. Blow up nine engines in a row -- no problem -- I have the stubborn German thing.

I'm totally opposite. I have more projects then I can count. I'm good for about 90% then I jump on to the next or the previous one im half way into. Unless it's my buggy. Once I start on a project for the buggy it's tunnel vision until I finish it. It just killed me having it sit for the last year but I did get a lot done around the house since I didn't have buggy vision.
I have more time then a clock but hate spending money I don't have to so I may take 3 hours to make a 9$ tool.

I think you and I would have a hard time getting along on the job.
I lose it when the boss wants me to do something else before I finished what was doing before.
The only thing that would make it ok is if the plant or a high dollar machine was down and that would be a priority. F words flow freely on my job and if the big shot don't like it he can fire me and I will get another job. Funny -- I have never been fired. The joke on my last job was "fire me". Even the boss used it after a while. One employer even got mad when I quit. Had to explain to him I am not quitting in anger, I am quitting because I am lonely and far from home. I missed the girls (my brothers kids and their friends). Had a one day job a few weeks ago and guy offered me full time. I said no thanks. Go to a new job this Wednesday. Gona tear down a foundry in the big city. May be off this site for a while.

Been self employed for close to 20 years now so I do what I want when I want and the way I want. Would never work a real job again.
The up side of having multi projects going on is no matter what I feel like doing that day there is a project for me.
My dad used to say he couldn't die because he had unfinished projects. Turns out he was wrong.
