I've spent most of my time, for the last 3 weeks building this 24" slip roll. Modelled on Vince Gingery's design, but with 2" heavy-wall tubes, with solid ends, and 3/4" bearings rather than 1/2". Should easily handle 16 ga. material, and probably 14ga. I made a few other improvements, also.

Jim,
Great job and very well made and finished. I like finishing touches with the blued parts.

Many thanks, Paul. I still need to paint it, but it's too cold in the shop...might have to wait until spring, unless we get a heat wave (fat chance)....LOL
Jim
JIM tHAT IS A SWEET BUILD AND IT LOOKS PERFECT TO MY EYE GREAT JOB.. BE PROUD...:o)
Many thanks, Captain Ward. It will work fine for my purposes. The finish on the rollers could be better. I turned the OD to be concentric with the ID. I was using a lathe dog that was too big for the job, and I finally figured out it was so out-of-balance, it was screwing up the finish. However, it'll work OK....just a bit ugly...Ha!
Jim

Beautiful work Jim! The support arms are a piece of art and the fit an finish are eye candy. :cool: I couldn't imaging 14GA would be any problem at all. Thanks for sharing a great project! ~PJ
Well Done!!
Any chance you have plans ?? Great job
I did draw up the endplates, and would be happy to send that after I convert it to a PDF file. I'd probably need your email addy, but might be able to post it here...not sure on that. I'll get back on later today. These rollers are fairly simple to build...just takes lots of machining time. I also have Vince Gingery's book, and would sell that for $20.00, shipped, if anybody is interested.
Jim
I believe i will take that book. Will pm you
Hi Jim,
Great build! The fit and finish won us over. Your Slip Roller is the 'Tool of the Week'!
You'll be receiving one of our official HomemadeTools.net T-shirts:
Just let me have your details via PM (size, color choice, and mailing address) and we'll get things processed directly.
Congrats!
Jon
Wow....to say I'm humbled would be massive understatement. I'm also very appreciative, Jon. I wear a large, and just pick the color you have the most of.....I'm not at all picky at all.

Great, I'll get that sent. BTW I just edited out your address from your post. Feel free to re-insert it if you don't mind, but you might see some homemade tool builders show up on your doorstep requesting those plans! :thumbsup:
Thanks again, Jon. I got the endplate plans finished...they're not perfect, but pretty good. If anybody wants a set, just PM your email address, and I'll send them along. They're in PDF format, so you can zoom into any portion to get good detail. Of course, I'll be happy to answer any questions, too.
Jim
did you end up with the plans for the end plates?
Yes...I drew up some plans.
Jim
