Having done some investigating courtesy of our friends at Google, it
seems that pressing metal sheet into useful shapes always involves
costly die-making and huge presses.

Is there any way to do it at home, with minimal equipment? I could
fabricate form/die of wood and use a bottle jack for pressure, no? The
pieces are not too big and the metal not too thick, under 1/8th inch.

Any suggestions welcome. The project is a fully enclosed chaincase for
a motorcycle.
