    George..........It only seems hard but like most other things it
    is really quiteeasy. 

    You've domed a square plate. The next step is to place the
    square plate on your bench top, with a straight side parallel to
    the edge of your bench and overhanging the benchtop slightly. Now
    with a wooden (or Other ) mallet strike the overhang. the metal
    will change its shape towards flat at the edge. you may have to
    hit it maor than once depending on how hard its and how hard you
    hit it the first time. Also depending on how big the square is
    you may have to hit it in seversl places along the length of each
    side. Once you've got one side flat rotate the piece and do the
    adjacent side. Its really a piece of cake.
