No problem Steve.  Thanks for the tip.  Your setup makes mine look very crude.

Thanks Anthony.

I thought about using a bearing as Steve suggested but my test piece seemed OK so I tried the same way again.  I made a former out of a bar and had another go.  I annealed it twice and this time I made an effort to clean up the surface that will be soldered while the part was still in the lathe.

Here's the result.





There's a slight flat on one side but that's Ok as one side will need to be fitted against a seam.  I left the clearance around the neck generous as that will hold a fillet of solder.  I think this will work.
