[TheForge] Candle cups

[Bruce Freeman]

If you want to do the forging yourself, you've already got several responses.

If you want cast cups to use, try one of the many places that sell brass candlesticks from Asia.  

I have seen candlesticks with very nice cups at flea markets.  You'd have to disassemble the candlestick for the cup, but if you pay almost nothing for the whole thing, then why not?  I've seen such brass stuff sold cheaply various places, but I've never gone looking for cups, so can't refer you to any place in particular.

I'm planning a chandelier and thinking of using brass wire wraps, brass
candle cups and wax catchers to brighten it up.  I've looked on-line for
cast cups but I've not found what I would like.  I'm now looking at using
brass tubing (7/8"x.040); flaring one end open and brazing the tube directly
to the catchers.
 
Have any of you done something similar?
 
I'm looking at Metalliferous as a supplier.
