    That is a slick little machine! All in one and it looks like it even flattened the ribs when it straightened it out. From a "useless" barrel to a sheet of usable metal. They'll probably make milk jugs or woks out of those!

    can't speak for the sides, but the ends of the drums used to be sought out by the local panel beaters because they formed so well (think 12" (300mm) radius doming) and the apprentice panel beaters would use them to practise on all the time.
