Poor Man's Fender Roller

[TR6SC]

I’m pretty simple. I chucked the caster in a hand drill. Spun the caster up against my disk sander and shaped different wheels.
The unintended benefit of using the Jorgensen clamp was being able to change the angle of the wheel. I could make it pinch down on either side of the main wheel which allowed me to be able to go right up against an edge seam or right up to the peak of a Roadmaster fender.

Thanks for sharing this bit of home grown genius.

BACK IN THE DAY (30 YEARS) THE COLLECTORS MADE MANDRILLS , BOTH MALE AND FEMALE THAT WERE CURVED IN BOTH THE WIDTH AND LENGTH TO THE SHAPE OF THE FENDERS. THEY WERE MOLDS MADE OF PLASTIC AND/OR WOOD!

My question is what about peaked fenders like on the old Roadmasters? Good idea!!

I just worked on a set of peaked Roadmaster fenders with a hammer from my body and fender set and a bag of playground sand. The sand is moist enough and in a bag so that it doesn't shift easily. The hammer has just the right curve so that when the dent is out, the hammer head fits against the rest of the fender and you can't go too far. If the dent is on the rolled edge, a little bit of spot putty works well.
