No reason why you can't spin them but most people find hammering them over a former easier than spinning and the firebox, backhead and throatplate would have to be done with hammer and former anyway. I have also seen press tools made to press the round tubeplate.

Spinning may be like turning, it takes a year or two to start getting decent competence and experience at it

Alternatively, Mr Caveman can batter it with a hammer on a former
