    Have you considered using sheet wax and the lost wax casting
    process? I assume that the size of sheet needed would not work but
    this would be great for smaller pieces thicker then 0.2 mm. I
    personnally use an ingot mold hammer it down a bit and pass the ingot
    through my rolling mill(takes me many hours). This is how most people
    make sheet from raw material and CLEAN scraps(i.e. no solder or
    contaminants). My prefered method is picking up the phone and
    contacting Imperial Smelting(Canada) and ordering beautifull shiny
    sheet to exact specs :) Saves my wrists for golfing. 

Have fun!
