So I'd like to make a shell, then roll a little bead in it, then
solder
everything together.

But I can't find any little bead rollers!!!

If you can push or pull the metal through instead of using geared
shafts like a real bead roller, maybe you could make two roller axle
support blocks that replace the jaw plates of a drill press vise, and
slowly close the vise as you roll the bead deeper.
