Rollation, Round 2

Information worth goold❤️

Great Way of making shapes. Amazing. It feels like an old school method of making fittings without a college degree in math. Thank You for the stress less patterns. Also the welding setup tips.

Now that's arts& crafts

it is GREAT to see what a craftsman can do with limited tools. Unbelievable. Thanks for sharing this with the world.

Amazing talent. I’ve never seen that technique before.

You did an excellent job!!!

simply amazing levels of craftsmanship ron... you're a treasure and thank you for putting these out

You made it 2 thickneses oversize to allow for error in bending and then had to cut off exactly 2 thickneses to make it fit perfectly. Nobody could have achieved this. It's fantastic. You make everything so clear and have a voice that is so easy on the ear.

Very nice! Looking for some used metal fab tools so I can get started 😊

Would you not make a bender with the two pieces of rolled bar youve got there all you need is two swivel joints.

Did a 5 year Apprenticeship over 60 years ago.and to make those developments we had to use the mean circumference on the round sections, also triangulation to develop said pieces..what a difference your technique makes .so damned easy..go to the top of the class Ron Covell..great stuff...ps am now 78

👍

Ron you should take Rollation to Autodesk for their Inventor Sheet Metal Component. Great piece of art with hand tools, well done.

Would love to see LS1 Cathederal Port to Tunnel Ram using hammer forms.

They could call it the Ron Covell plugin

Once again, a happy coincidence: I cobbled together a bending brake similar to yours for a sheet aluminum project, but used a length of heavy angle-iron with a square, sharp outside corner as my bottom piece... If you are also on facebook, I put up an album showing the process; let me know and I can point you to it. Thanks, as always!

Excellent videos Ron!👍

Je regarde vos vidéos avec beaucoup d’admiration et j’en apprends de plus en plus sur la ou les manières à faire pas à pas. Vous êtes pour moi un génie, merci infiniment pour votre partage de savoir faire.

You are going to save me a lot of time in my projects. Thanks

Ron thanks so much! I don't have any kind of metal shaping equipment other than an a basic body hammer and your videos have provided me a way to shape and bend metal that would otherwise be unavailable to me. THANK YOU!! Keep up the great work!

you deserve 5 million subscribers

Ron, would it be possible to do a video on cutting straight sheet aluminum without a metal shear (more than 12’’ long)?

Hey Ron

Stumbled onto this video and will definitely will share it with my buddy FUZZY. Recall he is an old sheet metal wizard but he uses a layout system that is way complicated and this seems much simpler. We are not doing much with cars except maintaining them. We do need to repair some downspouts tho so these techniques will be used. The tinfoil transfer technique seems much easier than a pencil line.
Stay healthy and maybe I'll see you at a GG show this year?? 2020 was bust.

Cool!

I wished I had seen your Rollation Videos earlier in my career! Althoughmy work was mostly heavy fab sometimes over 1 inch thick. We had one that was 9 foot across. There was one or two that stymied me! This is very frustrating as you know.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Ron is the Bob Ross of metal work. I mean that as a compliment

Please make round and square offset

Fantastic teacher. This is an incredible process. Thank you.

Very, very interesting I must say, I used to do layout 30 years ago, we didn’t do anything like this…stroke of genius!!!

THANK YOU, RON!!! I'M ALWAYS LEARNING FROM YOU GREAT TUTORIALS, AND YOU MAKE IT ALL LOOK SO STRAIGHTFORWARD, AND EASY!!!

Thank you! Very good, the best!
Now you do, a very beautiful woman for me 😉😀

easy to follow, very interesting presentation, thank you Ron.

"Awesome sauce"

This man should be running the country

very nice and
fine work

I wish I knew this many years ago.

Ron you are a gift to the world, keep it coming baby.

respected sir, I have seen your rollation videos and I found those really creative for making those shapes. I was also wondering about making "twisted" hollow square column with some relative angle present between the extreme cross sections (or ends). Is it possible to achieve such tubes made out of aluminum sheets by following your method of rolllation?

Hi Ron, I loved seeing this from the first time. I recently made a similar shape but much larger. I wonder if you have any tips on drawing a pattern from the measurements only when making a jig isn't feasible?

I nearly fell out of my chair while I was bending my body in sympathy to the model being rolled.

Ron, you call it a rotated and offset transition. I call it a sublime work of engineered art. The great engineer artist Leonardo da Vinci would rise up from his grave to give you a two thumbs up.

I’m watching this with the sound off. It’s only just ocurred to me why we need both left and right handed tin snips.

Lovely work! You explained the process very clearly and simply. One question, what's the difference between your red shears and your green shears? Is one duller but with a stronger edge for roughing?

もっと早くこのやり方を知れば良かった
今はこの動画を楽しんでます!

Really cool. I’m a tinner learned from Dad a lot of math and layout with a rule but really enjoy the roll method as you can preview your fitting prior to construction.

Fantastic congratulations.

If Wile E Coyote had you building his equipment, it’s safe to say the roadrunner would have been a casserole by now.

As always, thank you for your presentation and demeanor.

💯👍
