Faced with having to make an internal curved flange and not having a shrinker, I tried this..
First cut a piece of hardwood to the required curve..
Clamp metal in former, firmly in vice,using extra clamps if needed.
Hammer down the flange,working from end to end
Keep going,working it over evenly.
Finish off using a bit of light planishing.
Apologies for poor presentation, but I just can't get the hang of posting multiple pics and adding comments in the right order and place.

Rule 1 - If you don't do anything after adding a file, it appears just like yours have.
Rule 2 - if you click the [Place Inline] Button, they firstly loose the white border with ATTACHMENTS at the top, and they can also be placed where you want them because each image will appear in the text like this So you can move it around just by moving the text link, or positioning the cursor before you click [Place inline]

Re: shrinking metal to form an internal curve
Thanks Geo.. I did as Rule 2, as you said, however try as I might I couldn't get them to come in the correct order (Last one clicked came out as first) and couldn't place the text between the pics.
Be that as it may, hopefully my ideas might be useful.
Apologies too anyone who thought if this method earlier. It does work very well.
I will have another go next time I post something.
Merry Xmas.
