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. Eric
