Hi Wal,

This build uses tube for the rollers

and these for the pressure adjustment

Interesting project, but not for me (too many projects stalled on the bench

)

Cheers, Rob

If you made a cock-up, would you edit it out of the video - Just asking

If you could find an old number plate machine you'd have no work to do, they're effectively a heavy duty mangle with geared steel rollers.

Or indeed a (somewhat modified) beeswax foundation roller:

(Chances are my grandad had one of these - long gone now..)

Unfortunately none of this hardware's cheap - hence the DIY approach. Still won't be cheap, but it'll keep me occupied..!

True that, Rob. It's why my vids tend to be short and finish abruptly...
