In reply to Monty. A 'pound shop' is a type of general store in the UK where most of the products are sold for £1 (sterling).

In reply to Monty. A 'roll up' is a hand-made cigarette; the tips are the filter tips some smokers prefer to have.

I sure would like to see some pictures of this so I’d have a clearer picture about what you do. Is the “roll up” a pasta machine? And what is a pound shop?

Thanks

I make my corrugated iron for roofing using a pasta roller and a sheet of proprietory plastic corrugated roofing , I think it came from Aughegen, a German manufacturer.
Take the plastic sheet and cut it in two. Place the corrugated sides together and slide them until they mesh together. Mark the outer sides with a permanent marker so that you can get the same orientation each time you do this. Now place a piece of domestic aluminium foil between the two plastic sheets and wind them through the pasta machine. Hey Presto! Corrugated iron.
