    I love that beading tool, and the beautiful beads it makes! You ought to sell those things. I'd buy one.
    John Laing

    "The sole condition which is required in order to succeed in centralizing the supreme power in a democratic community, is to love equality, or to get men to believe you love it. Thus the science of despotism, which was once so complex is simplified, and reduced . . . . to a single principle."
    -- Alexis de Tocqueville

    "One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary."
    --Ayn Rand

    "To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box . . . . things will evolve as much as you want. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."
    -- Justice Antonin Scalia

    I little info on the beading tool. Grabbed some old Vise Grips and 2 1/2" exhaust clamp. At first I welded the two exhaust clamp pieces on the Vise Grips and started testing. It didn't make the bead pronounced enough so i kept cutting it down to the finished product you see. It is almost knife edged but the top has been smoothed. So far It's been up to 22psi with no issues.

    Thank You.

    I was too cheap to buy the $399.00 Bead Form tool for limited use and was lucky on this one.

    I was lazy when I made mine, I used a few thick washers. I like your idea with the U bolt, looks smother and better then the beads on my piping I did

    Finally had the engine compartment painted. Still have to rewire the garage and put a ceiling in before winter for any further work can be completed. But the moon's could line up and may be able to make more progress...
