I know I could buy these somewhere, but I want to do them myself. I
want some brass cup shapes, maybe 3 inches diameter and a couple
inches tall. I could solder them up from sheet or spin them. I will
probably spin a couple. But I would also like to form some by drawing.
The reason I want them drawn and spun is to show customers the
different ways some things can be made. In my new office I will have
an old Barnes lathe, built around the late 1890s, and I would like the
cans to catch drips from the old motor that will power the lathe as
well as holding cutting oil for the lathe. So the stuff will be for
show and tell. All the modern equipment is in the shop. The office is
for the old stuff, including me.
