Put a sheet of 1/4" or so rubber on the diamond side and run it
through sheetmetal rollers. Use lots of passes to sneak up on the
diameter you want. You may need to work the edges a bit if you want
them curved as well.

If anyone has suggestions on how to achieve a smooth bend, I'm all ears.
The plate is 1/8 inch thick, and the finished piece will be about 8 x 12
inches with a bend radius of about one foot.

Thanks for any help.
