Thread: Bead Roller

Tweet

While we are on the subject of bead rolling, we all know how hard it is to make perfectly straight lines. Here is a way to do that and it insures they will be straight every time. I can't take credit for this one, my Son Dan came up with it.

The idea is to clamp two pieces of flat stock to the piece you are rolling the beads into, spaced apart the width of the dies, so that they act as rails for the dies to travel along. He cut a couple small pieces of steel to fit inside the guides that act as stops so that you can not go beyond that point, which makes the beads all the same length.

Here are some pictures that will explain it better than I can. I have more than 5 so I will do it in two posts.
