That big shed would make a great workshop!
Here are some drawings of a seamer I designed to be used by either an angle grinder or a drill motor for standing seam roofing we used to make, The tool they are using to close the seams looks nearly the same design

You could exert some serious grunt with that geared setup.
Picture #2 shows the actual tooth pitch of all of the gears it also shows the shaft that extends through where 1 of the pinch rollers would be mountedQuote:

I couldn't take it apart, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to reverse engineer something if they can do a few minutes touchy feely with most things providing they have a basic understanding of how things work
