I had never tipped an edge before this but remembered some of the tricks from here. I tried it on a test piece first. The reason I believe I didnt like the tipping tool I made is I used hack saw to cut the groove which left a tooth or saw marks which gripped the steel too much. I think I will dig out my dremel tool with a cut off wheel to smooth the groove or make a new one.

I went slow with the cresent wrench and/or the tipping tool turning it in. I did on occasion switch to a hammer and dolly to hammer out the ripples. Which others correct if I am wrong, would essentially be tuck shrinking the edge.

Yes, when you turn the edge and leave ruffles which you then work into themselves carefully to keep the curve on your edge, it is a tuckshrink method. Very good work.
