Default fender rolling with a baseball bat

I just did mine all alone with a baseball bat and a cargo strap. Stuck the bat in between the tire and fender and used the strap to pull the bat down in increments to gently roll the fender lip into a V shape. Just wondering if anyone has used this method before. Since there isn't much adequately descriptive information on this topic, I was thinking about doing a write-up with pics on how to do this single handedly.

I've never seen anyone do it in person but there are several different DIY methods. I was just watching some videos on youtube. Search DIY fender rolling.

Thats the way I did mine, sans cargo strap. A wooden bat worked best for me, And didn't take long at all.
