Is it common practice to hammer it out, wheel it out, then hammer more? Or should you save the wheeling until youre pretty sure it's correct?

I find its easier to work if you stretch/shrink, wheel, repeat. Others may disagree. Yes wheeling costs you some of your shrinking because the wheel is basically a stretching machine. That is made up for in ease of working and manipulating the metal imo.



If you were very familiar with a given panel, you could probably stretch/shrink and only planish/wheel once but most humans aren't that good unless they've done many of a given panel or have a ton of experience.
