We think we’ve pulled together some pretty good choices in our first-ever Rollforming Buyers’ Guide. You’re holding the print version in your hands (or possibly looking at an e-version) but it is also accessible through a special online portal with additional product images and content provided by the listed companies. You can access the virtual guide directly from our new website: www. rollformingmagazine.com. Just go to the home page and you’ll find the buyers’ guide link in the top navigation bar. For the print version, we’ve also added some select product profiles to whet your appetite for all things roll forming. When you do visit the website, stop and take a look around. It’s exclusively devoted to industry professionals. While the buyers’ guide takes the main spotlight in this issue, don’t overlook our photo report on the second Construction Rollforming Show, held in June. It was a challenge to plan and carry off an event during a pandemic, but we finally suc- ceeded, and it was a good show. But don’t take my word for it, find out what other people had to say. May you have a safe, happy, and healthy summer season.

Construction Rollforming Show Makes a Successful Return

ou know how it feels when you have an order to fill and nothing seems to be going right? Your materials keep getting back- Yordered, there are unexpected starts and stops in production, and the customer keeps calling to see if their finished product will ever arrive? That helps to capture the feeling of what it was like planning for the second Construction Rollforming Show. Canceled for December due to the COVID-19 lockdown, it was resched- uled for June 3-4 in Cincinnati, with no guarantee that we could pull it off. Then, just three days before the show, the mask mandate and distancing rules were lifted. Sometimes the best things in life don’t come easy. As show producer Gary Reichert said, “It was great to fi nally get the restrictions behind us and have a live and in-person show. Virtual may be the future, but there is no substitute for seeing living, breathing people face-to-face.” The team at United Steel Supply fielded lots of questions about the volatile steel market. And attendees seemed to agree. Th ey

came in comparable numbers as the fi rst show in 2019, and they came to buy. “Despite all of the challenges,” said Reichert, “the turnout for the show was good. More importantly, the quality of the attendees amazed the exhibitors. “Th e story that I think summed up the show,” he continued, “was when I was talking with an exhibitor and a potential customer arrived. I excused myself, saying, ‘Now you have some- body important to talk to.’ Th e new guest pulled out a check and said, ‘I’m done talking.’ Th at example is a good indication of the show in its entirety. And it demonstrates just how strong our sector of the construction industry currently is.” Plans are already in the works for the third Construction Rollforming Show, which will be held in late Fall 2022. As plans develop, updates will be published in Rollforming Magazine and posted at www.rollformingmagazine.com. Also visit the website for more show photos and a video view of the show fl oor. RF

“The people who were there, were there to buy, and were serious about buying. We were busy anyway and I debated about going ... [because of COVID] I was skeptical of going, but it was well worth the time to go. The people, the number of people—usually the first day you’re busy but not like this.

area.” The work was plentiful enough, however, for a guy like Orsborn who well understood the nuances of bending metal. Orsborn had three roll formers going at one time when Colorado Custom Metal Inc. was in full swing. “I’d do these jobs in these remote areas and there’s no way you can get a [delivery] truck in there, so you need a portable roll former,” he explained. His machines of choice included a couple of New Techs and a Berridge. To cut costs, he developed partnerships with other portable owners in the area to trade profiles as needed. Shears from Swenson Shear helped him tackle the customized cutting. At one time, Colorado Custom Metal was operating three portables. Now the machines have been sold as he picks and chooses his jobs and enjoys semi-retirement. PORTABLES NOT ALWAYS POPULAR WITH SPECIFIERS ■ By Sharon Thatcher work on Monday in his shop.

Fabral supplied the 24"-wide, 24-gauge, satin-finished Galvalume roofing coils to make the standing seam panels, as well as more than 300 flat sheets to custom fabricate the flashings, trims, and components for the project. “We used eight guys [on the job],” Orsborn said, “and that’s a pretty small crew, but it was so easy. Basically, it was just a big square that happened to be curved. I thought I was going to have to put a curving machine up there to shape the panels to meet the roof’s curve, but I laid down a 77' panel and it laid down so nicely, I didn’t have to curve anything. We just started laying panels.” It was winter in Denver, so it snowed a lot during the job; not a deterrent for Orsborn’s crew. “We were able to lay the insulation, and ice and water shield from the top going down, which is backward to what you typically do, but all the snow would fall onto our new system then off onto the old, and we would just keep moving.”
