Chris's method is what I used and it works well. Look in the EAA's
Aircraft Welding book - it describes exactly how to do this.
I found that it sometimes takes several applications - heat the metal
till it glows orange, then shut off the torch and squish it in the vise.
You can get it about halfway the first time, then heat it again and
squish it almost down to flat. Third time gets it all the way flat.
Then I welded the tip closed.

Mike, Rick -- I cold squished (in a nice big vise here at work) both my
rudder bar ends and bellcrank ends.

What alloy are you using? I used 4130 and Pressed it flat with a vice. I
didn't heat it for fear of hardening it to the point of being unable to
drill it for the fittings. 'Nuther question...I have flattened one end of my
rudder bar and I'm in doubt as to how to guarantee that when the other end
is flattened, it will wind up in the same plane as the first. Any
advice???....Carl Vought

Clamp a stick to the flattened face and eyeball it vertical
to the vice jaws and hold with just a little pressure. hold
a stick or ruler to one vice jaw face and sight the two sticks.
Repeat until both line up. Then squish away.
I have two 3/4" X 3/4" sticks 2' long, one white, one black
hanging on my tool wall. They are known by the ancients as
winding sticks.
