Oh, yeah, that's pretty small. I've seen small slip rolls, but I don't know
if they would handle 1 inch directly.
If you can get close, you usually can pull the form around to the final
shape. 22 gage is quite thin.
Yep, hoseclamps or even some clever rope-work will likely pull the
seams into line then you can weld and bash it into something
resembling a round tube.
I use the hose clamp trick all the time to hold thin stainless tubes
before I tack along the seam. Then I clamp the bits between a couple
of chill-bars and take my TIG to the seam. The results usually work
out pretty good.
