[TheForge] Project advice

[Saint Phlip]

I want to turn some black pipe into some finials for my new, medieval
style smithing shelter. The pipe is 3/4", to slip over nuts/couplings
appropriate for 3/8" all thread, which means I'll have to neck the
pipe down a bit. I got a piece of hexagonal bar stock that just
happens to be the right size to use as a mandrel, but I'm looking for
advice and suggestions as to how to do this most efficiently, so I
have a decent piece of black pipe at the other end to turn into a
finial.

Let the suggestions begin ;-)
