SqeezeMasterFlash Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Start with the one from the dollar store. They're about as easy as a license plate or two. That's all I've rolled so far, but you can probably find a nice variety of thicknesses at your local goodwill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SqeezeMasterFlash Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Old license plates are good too. See how tightly you can roll them, or do 2 or 3 at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Steve Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 Goodwill, flea markets, and yard sales are great because you can get cards, nails, and pans for 25 cents for the whole lot. Some times people ask what you do with them. Free show time. Then you can sell the the stuff back for a nice profit. Just kidding watching people smile is priceless. Flea markets, have saved me a mint. When you roll the pans squeeze them like a gripper as you roll them. Make sure the base is firm with the vise hand on the leg, posting it like. Then get it hot and do not stop. One big tip and I hope I can say it right. Where the handle is at is the strongest part. Bend the pan at an angle to that, so you do not bend parallel to the handle. Just something I noticed. When you get stronger this does not matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossman Posted July 9, 2004 Author Share Posted July 9, 2004 thanks for the great details steve! you are always helpful. i bent my first real on last night! i got two cheap ones, and a real one. the cheapos were too easy. the real one i put down in 15 minutes. i figured out what steve said, about gripper like action, after doing more of a push action. im trying to get a photo of it. im getting more pans today, since the roll wasnt as tight as i would like. thanks to everyone who gave me help.
