I thought as it was only 3mm thick it would deform reasonably easy, it don't
I spoke to a guy who does this "wrought iron" stuff - he suggested to heat it up (red) and do the scroll in one
quick go.
He said the knack to deforming stainless is to do it in one go and don't stop.

I'm thinking of doing it in the 20 ton press - that should deform it.
It may need to have a round bottom, not flat as shown.
Might work - I have no idea how I end up doing all these "daft" things.
It will spring open quite a bit but I'll squash it in the vice
