David, here’re some pictures showing dolling a circle or tube (cone next up). It really is easy.
Just remember, if you use a knife handle REMOVE THE BLADE before using it as a roller. Depending on how large the piece is or how much it needs to be curved will help you determine how large a diameter rounded tool you will need to use.

1. Knife for rolling, the piece to be rolled, and the foam mousepad.
2. The piece place face down on the mousepad with the knife handle for rolling/pressing.
3. Start sliding the handle back and forth across the piece pressing gently. The piece will start to curve.
4. Still being gentle, increase the pressure on the knife handle a little at a time as you continue to slide it back and forth.
5. Eventually you will achieve the required curving of the piece to make glueing and fitting easier and neater.
