I had posted this image several years ago on an old version of the forum, along with the agonizing details of how it was done, how long it took, and how many/bad the blisters were. Essentially, the brummel was made using the traditional method of passing each end through the other with alot of grunting and groaning. The tapered bury was the really difficult part and was accomplished in small segmental increments with the aid of several lubricants. I've since used the same time consuming, labor-intensive technique for other sizes with good results.

(Will try to post the image with some help soon, as it in not currently on a server, and only exists on my hard drive)
