Nice result, Tony, very nice. You'll qualify as a Tinker yet!

An alternate way I have used is a vice: start the fold all round by tapping with a light, square, flat faced hammer, then transfer to the vice to progressively flatten the fold. It takes two: someone else needs to support the door or turn the vice screw, but using 1/4 plate flats in the jaws, the result leaves no hammer marks. I had ther vice just above floor level mounted on a length of 1-inch x 6 inch steel bar for stability.

Just a thought....
