I have made one myself but all the wheels [except two] were bought from Harbor Freight for 80 bucks. I do remember looking at the one in the Harbor store and playing around thinking some part was loose and had to be welded. I think if you got the harbor Freight one you would have to be ready to modify and tweak it a bit. They take up alot of shop space too.This is not a thing you use everyday. Mine has a removable platform for a leather sand bag to strike stuff into. It also has a platform for the planishing hammer which I have not used yet. On the same platform for the hammer I have a Bead roller mounted right now . That comes in handy . I also catch my shoulder on it everytime I turn around from using my lathe .Its size is annoying. If you fab one you have to be sure the bottom Roller and the top large wheel are well aligned. I made that part adjustable by using rod couplings welded to the side steel and allen screws as set screws to align the inner sleeve. In other words push the moveable sleeve to align with the bottm pulley. You also need a piece of square thread to make your adjuster rod for tension on the lower wheel [to raise and lower changing pressure on the workpiece]. It does get the hammer marks out of the metal and can make a pleasing shape.You have to push the part throughg loosly and it should make a clunking type noise at first. You are working the dents out not stretching the metal by tight pinching which will leave roller marks. Eastwood has a benchtop wheel too.

As far as I was aware a fordson was a fordson and it was only through trial an
