Building a Custom Slip Roll

Fabricating a custom slip roll for rolling sheet metal into tubes, curves, or cones. A slip roll has a removable top roll so that tightly rolled tubes can be removed from the upper roller without too much effort. Hopefully of interest to people doing home shop work like welding, metal-working, grinding, fabrication, car restoration and customization, etc. I started making it before I started filming anything, so it's really sort of a part II video of the build. But hopefully I explained it enough that you can figure out what I did up until the filming started. Safety first! If you do any work like this, wear your safety glasses, your welding gloves, ear protection, etc. And clamp work in a drill press (even though I don't bother sometimes for smaller holes). You'll see I use the grinder one handed a lot. But you really should always be using two hands on it, especially until you get used to how it behaves. And yes, welding in the rain is a bad idea! Enjoy!
