Amazing work!
I'd like to hear more about the ring roller that you built. Would you be willing to give us some details?

The details are this. Using old gears and a sewing machine type variable speed pedal that uses potentiometers and variable resistors hooked through a chain drive gear reduction and also a gear reduction box all mounted to 2 inch thick steel plate that got bolted to the concrete floor. Each roll is driven via gear drives (similar to the gear train for the timing of a big diesel engine) Two rollers on bottom and one on top that is adjustable on slides and tracks and using 1 1/2 fine thread high alloy all-thread for the tensioner system. The rollers themselves are made from chrome moly steel and machined to perfection. I will not post any pics as I have applied for a patent and until I get atleast a patent pending, I AIN'T sharing. Ha! Oh yeah, the drive motor is a 3/4 horse motor on 220 vac and the gear reduction is around 1200 to 1. Build yer own

That looks so much neater than the bail feeders we made bending around an old brake hub welded to our table. Great work as always Stan.
