What it is we want to accomplish...
So, here is Step 1:
Cut the brass banding to exact size so that the edges meet and not overlap
Bend the banding to a circle - use any tool available like a mandrel or a round wood dowel - I used my fingers. There should be no kinks when you solder. We are aiming for a thin solder connection, so bending after it is soldered might break it.
This is the banding I used. It was a bit hard to bend, has a tendency to kink - but I made it work.
This is the glass dome I used. I liked the size and I think it will be just perfect as one of those upside down chandelier thingies...
