What did you build this week?

Collaborated to build a slip roller for upcoming exhaust work. Developed the design with a friend. I detailed the design, did the welding and some of the simpler fab. The friend that collaborated with concept did all turnings and machining. 24 inch width and should handle up to 18 gage. Tightening the thumb wheels tightens the bend radius, tightening the T handles grips the work piece to help drive it through.

Dude, that is so nice. Did you machine or buy the rollers?

We bought 1.5 inch cold rolled round. The roll face is the mill finish, we only sanded it a bit then my friend did all the machining on the ends.
 
Very Cool, well done.
Are there bearings in the ends of the cold rolled?

Thanks! Yes, there are high iron content oil impregnated bronze bushings on all the ends of all the rollers.
 
I finally got a little chunk of time to work on getting the new shop together. The first thing I NEEDED was some music, so I made up a shelf for the old stereo and a shelf for the speaker (tilted 15° forward). I also mounted a car phone holder to it since I stream most of my music off of my phone.

I also got one of my sections of shelves mounted, which now holds my "wall art" collection of tanks and helmets.

I've got plans to insulate the ceiling, which is where ill lose the most heat. I doubt the walls get done any time soon lol

I don't know if it counts as building, but my brother in law and I put in a new tile backsplash and added a few outlets in the new kitchen. Surprisingly enough, there aren't alot of straight and square walls in a 110 year old house lol
