On youtube there is a man who has the flanges turned down on a lathe.

https://www.youtube.com/user/chambs123 is possibly the one you're referring to, although others may have done it too. He's no longer producing videos and has sold off his massive collection (I was able to win some on ebay).
He's the same one linked to above by WTD
