Jason: Isn't there one metalworking technique for spreading sheet metal into a void (doming?), and another for bending it around a stake (raising?)? You seem to describe the former, but I think a specially shaped stake like these forms would be used with the latter. Mind, most of my knowledge comes from two readings of Techniques of Reconstructing Medieval and Renaissance Armour: The Fourteenth Century so I'm no expert!

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
