I have been wanting to try my hand at drawing sheet metal through a draw plate to swag it into a round tube suitable for powder measures. In the past I have been turning the whole measure from a piece of round stock. The 3 measures in the picture below are made from copper (10g to 60g), brass (20g to 80g) and mild steel (20g to 90g). All 3 had their tubes pulled through the draw plate and then soldered to a turned and broached collar. The thumb screws are all hand filed from 1/8" mild steel flat stock. The bottom photo is to show the soldered seams in the tubes.

Check out Dave's powder measures on The Contemporary blog spot http://contemporarymakers.blogspot.com/ He's got the coolest ones out there. I have one of his traditional ones but these are show stoppers.
