Tooling for Hot and Cold Forging Copper Candle Cups
By Gene Chapman

In 2004 I began making candle cups out of type “K” copper pipe which has a wall thickness of 1/16”, double that of type “M” pipe.
The thicker candle cups are more attractive in my opinion and, when handled, have a nice feel to them. They are actually easier to forge and produce due to the thicker wall.
“Copper Candle Cups II” has detailed explanations of methods, techniques and tooling used to make candle cups out of the thicker wall type “K” pipe.

Note:  The tooling for thicker wall type "K" pipe has different dimensions than those for type "M" pipe.

8 1/2" X 11", sixteen pages cover to cover, price $10.95 plus shipping.
