The request was for 0.300", though, not 0.030". If this is for a
rocket, presumably it's a high pressure one.

grease the mandrel and wrap 0.030 sheet around it with a bit of lap joint,
and glue. Wait for glue to dry, just slip it off.
Not hard to get glued joint stronger than 0.030 Al.
Also easier to get some alloys which are better than 6061-T6 that way.
That said, not knowing what you're doing exactly in terms of joining
endcaps and so forth, that might not be a useful form for your next steps.

All,
Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop (preferably in the Southern
California area) that can machine aluminum pipe (modify OD & ID and make
round)?
I want to take a 24” length of 8” diameter 6061-T6 pipe and machine the
OD to 7.708” with the wall thickness at 0.300”. A local shop wants to
lathe it from both ends, but cannot guarantee there will be a step in the
middle.
Thanks in advance,
Carl Tedesco
