[TheForge] Sheet metal roller qestion

Thanks Dave,

You know the English language really sucks sometimes.  I try to listen but
with multiple answers you get some confusion.  One author said "The four
grooves are for rolling wire- you use a different machine for hemming. " and
one says " The grooves on the end of the roll are to roll small diameter
round stock."

But if I hear you correctly, and this makes sense to me ... the wire is
already in the hem - then the metal is rolled - correct?

I don't see how you could put the wire in after you have rolled a piece ...
but then I don't know much at all about tin smithing.  I looked for some
books on the subject and couldn't find much.   Not that I need another hobby
but what's out there that I can read?

Walt
