[TheForge] Candle cups

[Bill Roberts]

actually silicon bronze and navel bronze both forge beautifully. Short
learning curve to get the correct temp.....but then.....it's addictive. 
And the ball bearing idea is a great way to flare the tube. :)
fwiw, 2 cents.....

Should at least start a nice even circular flare. Cold-form because brass doesn't seem to do well hot-forging, although Marine Bronze works ok.
