Default Machining/Resizing Pipe

With the right setup you can do some metalspinning to alter the shape.
Unless very crefully thought out you wind up with some very thin areas.
The metal needs to be annealed to soften it and spinning will harden
it.

I believe, but have no referances, that brass instruments are formed
from sheet stock and the seams brazed and polished.
