Dave, you will not get a bean tin seam but swaging machines using a
sort of mangle pair of flanged rollers are still available.
A lot of the old books contain tinsmithing references and you will get
ideas from them. Years ago, I did my City and Guilds in Motor Vehicle
restoration and used Alan Robinsons Repair of Vehicle Bodies as a text
book. I expect that it will still have a lot of help. In addition, I
belive that Frosts still have DIY tools as you seem to want.
Cheers
