Looks great and I love following along. I jus have a technique question for you. In post 611, photo 4 what are you using the bead roller for? Is it for adding the hem? Just curious as trying to do that type of edge has been difficult for me in the past.

Hi Jordan, yes I am, I folded as far as I can go on the panbrake which is about 120deg and then through the bead roller to flatten completely and it does a great job.
Both tanks are fitted but I just need to finish making two caps for them but as it is around 42 deg here at the moment I'm going to call it a day and have a cold beer

No nothing special, just two flat ones.

Ok thanks. I'll be giving that a try. I've always had issues trying to get that seam to flatten out consistently.

Terrific work going on in that shop Colin. 42 deg .........sounds brutal, what was it with the "wind chill", 40°c ?? You certainly earned a cold beverage or two.
