Well, I can't exactly provide pictures, but I'll try to make up for it
with a detailed (enough for anyone capable of doing this) description.
My personal favorite way to bead pipes are two methods, either jb-weld
with masking tape (pretty self-explanatory) or this method:
Take a cheap vise. Weld a bead on one jaw of the vise. Using a die-grinder
hollow out a depression in the same place on the opposite jaw. Make it the
same size/shape as the original bead. Do this out on the end of the jaws
about 1/4" in from the end.
Now, you've just made a beading tool. Take the pipe you want to bead,
place the end of it in the vise, and tighten the vise up. Rotate the pipe
until you've completed the bead all the way around the pipe.
