[TheForge] Brand New Topic-Stainless Pans

Mon Apr 7 22:59:00 2003

Dang someone needs to tell me to just SHUT UP....

I would recommend you find a small rollforming shop, I suspect there are
probably a few in your area, that can roll form any size or shape of pan you
want, and from any material.

Use AltaVista, or 1blink and they will pop up about 400 roll form shops
nation wide, and in Canada.

I have found in the past that the rollforming is pretty cost effective when
you don't ask for precision, and want to surface finish the part yourself.
