One common method was known as Twist Steel. Thin steel rods were heated, and twisted together. They were reheated, and twisted around a metal rod. While on the rod they were heated a 3rd time, and hammered to weld the twisted strips together. After cooling, the rod was removed, leaving a hollow tube. One end would be fitted with a plug, the other left open to load powder and shot.
