  • Taking steel and heating it up while spinning on my metal lathe. Once its heated up I use special tools to forge/shape it while its spinning at 100 rpm. Its a bit sketchy and dangerous but I hope you enjoy this video!

He could see his friend was confused so he demonstrated. He took a mallet and whacked the bowl giving off a loud ring. Right afterwards a neighbor shouted "don't you know it's midnight?!"

    I had some stuff spun out side of Vancouver B C , at Arts Metal Spinning . Dangerous place to be , but they let me watch . They were spinning stuff from 5 ft in diameter . Nothing hot when I was there though .They were going in so deep , they had 2 guys on the forming roller , to pull . Looked like lots of fun . They spun me a venturi about 2 ft deep by 3 ft in diameter . They make aluminum spinners for airplane props too . They bolt some of there discs on a bolt circle and theres no center . Some are mounted on the back side of the gear box , because the blank almost touches the floor . On the big stuff , by the time they get it good and rolled over , theres quite a rag on the leading edge . They trim that , then roll it some more . The other cool thing I watched was explosion forming . They bolt a blank on a tank with a heavy ring , fill the tank with water , detinate a charge in the water , and cause a bubble in the blank . They didnt let me watch ,thank you .

      The lighting for filming is always brighter than the amount of light needed to safely work, the human eye has a great capacity for relative lowlight. And forging work had an inherent need for more dim lighting conditions too. Also, often significant UV filters are needed to protect camera sensors from the the spectrum put off from map torches and hot metal becoming incandescent.

    Interesting. I taught myself to spin copper. (600 hours/ 1800square feet of cooper sheeting; 22 gauge and 19 gauge) to develop technique to spin out a 3 1/2" diameter by 5 3/4" tall cup. i learned to spin other pieces out as i worked to getting that "eureka cup" (use it for a liner in a wood cup). definitely gets more difficult the larger you go. There are of course videos available showing spinning but it wasn't until i got to the eureka cup that in now see all the little intricacies involved. Gutsy job
