The reducer shroud is laser cut! Another benefit of modern technology.
The sides will be charred, wipe them off and lightly sand with 400 grit if needed.
I did my usual shroud forming by rolling a dowel over the card stock in the heel of my left hand.
Press and form the shroud by moving the dowel in a arc or "piece of pie" movement. Go all the way to the outside edges, get a curl there, too.
TIP: Thin card stock shrouds require very little glue on the gluing tab.
After the shroud is dry, you can go back and do more forming in your hand with the dowel. Get both sides as near to a perfect circle as you can.
Before marking the tube for the gluing of the upper centering rings, be sure you are marking the upper tube!
On ring is 2" from the top, the other ring is even with the top of the tube.
