Thanks for the explanation on how too shrink the metal. I made my first piece of junk trying what I thought I understood was the process. I tried making dimples and crimping the flange and the small panel did start to move the right way. That seems to do an effective job of the panel. However the flange looks a mess. I obviously have a lot more practice to do. I will have to work beside a master such as yourself to get the finer skills this needs. I've bookmarked the metal working site and will spend some more time researching and practicing what I learn.

Thanks again!!
