> Somewhere in the past I saw a die used with an arbor press.  This was 
> for making the barrel part of a small hinge.  As I remember it, the 
> die was a piece of solid stock that had a vertical slit for the flat 
> hinge material to slide into.  At the bottom (and off-set) of the 
> vertical slit was a drilled hole whose diameter would be the diameter 
> of the hinge barrel.  The flat stock was slid into the vertical slot 
> and when pressed with the arbor press, the flat metal would go down 
> the slit and curl in the round hole at the bottom thus forming the 
> hinge barrel.

> book or perhaps a video?  Can anyone tell me where to find a sketch or

> other info about this process?  Any help would be appreciated.
