I bought the doming plates Steve has on his Engraving Tools section, listed with Accessories. They're great, exactly what I've been wanting for years. Using them is a no brainer, put in a piece of flat metal, apply pressure (I use a 6 ton hydraulic press) and the metal comes out domed.
These pieces are highly polished and precision machined. The blanks shown here were pretty rough from a "Helpful Friend" attempting to dome them. I was able to make them flat again in my press then the domers made the surface smooth with a perfect dome. Best tool I've bought in a long time. These pieces are 17 ga nickel silver.

Thank you Dave for the good feedback on with these bending domers! Were you adding paper between when squishing or just direct metal to metal?
