    Default Stupid Question from the new guy!! :)

    Hi people... I have joined this forum as I have started welding things together... Copper in fact. Brazing copper. Making art and tools with it. Now what I would like to know is, where can I find and what do i call a conical tool like an anvil that I can use to beat welded copper rings od different sizes so that they are round. I cannot for the life of me find the name for it. Found one on an obscure blacksmithing site but am really after one to make my job easier. Possibly they make them out of plastic as well. No idea. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cone like object to beat metal rings on to make round
    Thanks,
    Todd
