Michael R.'s Profile

1 Review

This series as well as the advanced series provides a very well rounded instruction on the art of metal spinning. It begins with making your own tools and goes over proper stance, handling of the tools and approach to the materials. The advanced series goes over complex shapes, techniques to prepare your materials in bulk, and important factors to consider with various different metals, including the need to anneal some. Despite what another reviewer mentioned, there is a section in the first series that explains how the author bought a $150 wood lathe and converted it for use in metal spinning for about $50. He points out that it doesn't compare to his commercial equipment, but demonstrates that it is nonetheless quite capable.
