Cool. You know, you could have explained, didn't have to go and illustrate the principle for me
Got some work before I get to the making caps stage, but I like the idea. You just glue the sucker in there?

I have all these bead caps that didn't work for the project planned so I might dragoon those to see if they work.

thanks, I think its a good way to finish round and persian weaves, that tend to look off when you try to put different combos of rings at the ends

Nice. How did you connect the Cap to the Inverted round?

right now its just friction, but epoxy would work great, I wouldn't braze it cause i brazed the cap closed and the end would likely fall off if reheated

ha! i wish its just recycled copper pipe i cut with a jewelry saw and brazed on another piece of copper (also made from regular plumbing pipe which i flattened in a vise) as the end piece
