I like peaceful.

But what does "I glow them out" mean?

Thank you very much for posting this up. Would very much like some more detailed photos of how you formed the mushroom top.

Have some photos of the process - annealing first to color red (perfect term - thanks!)
then reshape with low rpm using RCBS case lube on the stamp
then turn from Solid Brass the crown - 18 mm to 13,25 - and let the Ball end mill make the finish
after cut off turn the inner side to 16,5 mm dia 2 mm depth and solder to the tube
thats it - just make the 9 holes 1 mm with 40 degree on a Dividing device
Yes you will need a workshop....

I, too, thank you. You have admirably clarified the whole process, to the point where even I should be able to make a burner like that.

I did make a burner from a cartridge casing once, but it was a simple one, made from a .22 shell for my Jenny Wren. This looks much better for larger things.

Cartridge Brass has the perfect wall thickness, lenght and it's for free  -
people trow it into the waste bin at the shooting range.
For my Burners I use .44 Mag and .454 Casull Revolver cases.
I make also nice steam whistle from Rifle Cartridge.
Reloading is okay for expensive or rare calibers like a Vetterli 10,4 mm
which was a Swiss military rifle in 1869! That's fun too - but thats another Story.

An excellent tutorial and a wonderful technique for making the burner parts.

Thanks!
