I flanged the ends for the boiler, worked really nicely too! I was quite suprised! In the end I just turned a former to the inside diameter, allowing for the thickness of the copper sheet, and formed it in a vice with a ball pein hammer, using a propane torch to anneal a couple of times. Worked a treat! I skimmed a couple of thou off to get a nice fit in the boiler tube.
