the only copper I have is ~22 ga....I have some 20 ga brass, but I suppose this is too thin.
What do you recommend thickness wise?

sha-ul

well at least my 1st attempt that went past the "saucer" stage (those were aluminum) I used the bottom of an old coffee can as the pattern, started raising on a 2"ball, and took to completion on my 2" round stock T stake http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s294/russell_smith93/for...
