In 2004 Gene 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.

In this book the subject of copper work, as it may be introduced into the public schools, is treated to the extent of specify an equipment and suggesting some of the possibilities of a course. Not only will there be found an abundance of illustrative material on this subject, consisting of drawings and photographs of various objects executed by upper grammar and high school pupils, but also a detail description of the process necessary for the execution of many of the designs. It is not expected that the problems as given will be slavishly copied, but rather that they will make clear the methods and processes that may be applied in the working out of similar problems. It is hoped that this volume will be especially helpful to teachers in the manual arts that are trying to introduce metal work into the regular school course.
