An excellent introductory view of metal spinning with pewter being the metal of interest. Pewter is an ideal metal for spinning, having all the requisite elongation non work hardening features. While this DVD does not explain in detail the whys and hows of metal movement in the spinning process, it gives an enticing intro to the art by showing the attractive resulting pewter ware.

One is left with the thought that he could himself successfully tackle a project and complete it. You have watched the process and it is not impossible. Several colleges have websites to which one can then refer for additional information on spinning other metals. This, however, is hands on, in motion, to a finished product, complete to soldering up a finished pewter chalis, tankard, and other pieces. Some pewter casting is included.

Any craftsperson would enjoy watching this whether they ever do any metal spinning or not. It makes you want to try it. I have the setup, but have never tried it. I will now. I have the confidence.

Smartflix makes the whole rental process totally easy, no hastle, as you would yourself wish. Hats off to them!!
