I clipped the part about electric flatteners, because my comment doesn't
apply to them. Before you go ahead with any hand-cranked roll setup, I
suggest you set up a hand-cranked food grinder, and find out whether it is
any better for your healing process than a hammer. It uses many of the same
muscles and motions.
