I made a simple pinch tool from a couple of punches. I have a large set and a small set. I can't rember where I saw this. I've had these about 25 years. You can make some very nice shrinks with these. I'm with John. A claw hammer will do a great job also. Scotty b is correct about the wheeling machine. They take some serious time investment to learn.
The photo here shows how far you can stretch metal with very basic tools. I used a piece of plywood with a cutout for the shape of the recess, them drove the recess into the plywood shape. I made the lines crisp with a masons chisel. BTW: sorry for the hijack.. just thought you'd find this interesting Attached image(s)
