You didn't say how wide it is. If it's less than about 36" it's hard to
beat the bead roller / fabrication kit sold by Harbor Freight. The full
price is $180 but it's often on sale for $90-$100.

They also sell a fence for it to help you keep your beads straight.

You'll need a helper to turn the crank because with a piece 16' long you
won't be able to guide it and crank it yourself.

I have a need for multiple half round beading along a 16 foot section of
Aluminum. I don't know if I used the correct term's so put another way, I
need several half rounds impressed into aluminum sheeting along a 16 foot
long piece.

I don't need to purchase commercial unit. Any ideas to perform this?

Thanks in advance
John
