First! Thank you for the complement. It is hard to make a boiler look beautiful. I use a variable speed Milwaukee drill that I modified to roll the tubes in. And yes it can get away from the operator.

That thing is beautiful! I'm a union boilermaker from WV and have had to roll tubes a few times but they've all been steel. Do you use a factory made air powered tube roller or have you came up with something on your own? The ones we use are a dangerous beast that'll crack a rib if you don't hold on tight.
