    GREAT VIDEO!!!! My father, 68 year old now, it has been a "metal spinner" since the 1978!!! Now he's retired from almost 3 years, but I remember very well this manual work!! Movements, sounds, tools, everything!! It miss only the smell of the lubricant!! :-) BTW my father has heavily modified one of the two turner putting some "half-automatic" parts to reduce the body stress

    Fantastic! I'm looking in to turning a set of brass bells for a set of trumpet pipes for one of my pipe organs and your videos have helped. Thanks

    I thought this video couldn't get any better until the music cut in. Whatever that music is, it's brilliant, as is the metal spinning.

    what is the thickness of metal you recommend for your parts?

    That has to be one of the coolest things I have seen in a while. I may have to give this a try.

    I didn't have any idea what you were saying until you started the work..
    very nice!! .. I always wondered how so many things are seamless.. now I know.

    Wow what an art... I would love to try some simple stuff on my small engine lathe but it looks dangerous and complicated...I have been a sheet metal worker for thirty years and still have all my fingers... That being said, any pointers for a true beginner..also how do you deal with work hardening while you form the parts. ?

    I have a 2 1/2" sphere with a 1 1/4" hiole in the end that I need to have made. Is this a similar method to how that would be done.

    Hello,
    I am attempting to spin a trumpet bell (where the sound comes out) out of a .020" sheet brass disk.
    Can you offer any advice on lathe speed, pressure or feel? I can only get a few inches before the disk wrinkles inward.
    Thanks!

    Hi, I have a metal and a wooden lathes, I would like to ask you is, which one shall I have a go? Or does the spinning art requires a proper lathe?

    neat! I've had a home machine shop for a couple years, doing minor hobby work. But I'd somehow I'd never actually heard of metal spinning.

    We tried to do this but i think we need bronse or something soft as a tool.

    Hi, I'm looking for a few one-off pieces to be spun and the cost for tooling is huge with all the large CNC spinning manufacturers, could anyone point me in the right direction of finding a hand spinner who does commission work?

  • @recommendme

    is this a similar process as making the end of a trumbone... i saw it on "how its made" and they did something similar.. its reallly cool...

    I have a box of wrinkled annealed 1100 alloy aluminum parts so far. I've tried spinning annealed c260 cartridge brass too, but it work hardens on me very quickly, so I know where you're coming from.

    dang,
    I didn't realize how plastic metal could be.
    Seems to me there is considerable compression and stretching going on.
    I expected to see some cracking.
    interesting stuff

    AMAZING WORK! but dont you need to wear some sort of safety gear while doing that? you could get seriously injured! i'm wondering if two stroke expansion chambers can be made like that. well can they?!

    Hi, I live in Peterborough Cambridgeshire and I am desperate to learn soem metal spinning technique a for the purpose of making mounts for bagpipes and small pipes. I would love to get about a month with someone who knows what they are doing. I am a professional competiting Bagpiper and also a carpenter and woodturner. They don't have to live near me as I will travel to learn. can anyone help me please. many thanks in advance, James

  • @PacoOtis

    Wow! Very nice work! However, if you would even think about wearing some protective gloves it just might make your career a bit better. Surely you can be safe and still be the excellent artist you are. Best of luck!

    • @WhatIsThisVid
      @WhatIsThisVid 9 років тому +4

      +Joseph Stokes Actually wearing gloves while operating a lathe is a big safety hazard, and if they get caught in the spinning mass it will quite possibly rip your hand off still in the glove or if your lucky just a finger.
      So he is being quite safe, you can view some videos of why you shouldn't wear gloves on a lathe on this very site

      +Joseph Stokes
      Joseph this is a very common comment.
      Some metal spinners advise against gloves because they fear their arm can be pulled in in the leather glove catches - there appears to be no consensus of opinion but its not safe to assume that an experienced spinner is being slack on safety because you see him not wearing gloves it might be a deliberate and calculated decision. I have been spinning for only one year but I do not choose to wear gloves as I am wary of them catching - as far as safety is concerned I choose to trim the otherwise ragged edge as smooth as possible as early as I can so that if I do touch it by accident it wont cut as badly. Many machine operators prefer not to wear gloves for similar reasons - in many cases leather would offer very little protection against more than a bad scratch and there is a risk of infection if leather particles get embedded into a raggedy cut. You think it through and make the best decision you can on the information you have to hand but the casual observer may of course conclude think its laziness or forgetfulness.

    • @LafeWood
      @LafeWood 8 років тому +1

      +Joseph Stokes Actually wearing gloves while operating almost anything with spinning parts is UNSAFE, for the same reason that wearing a tie or loose sleeves would be a bad idea. Better to cut your fingers than have your arm wrapped up in the lathe because your glove got caught on something! I'm not trying to pick on you, I just don't want to see anyone get hurt.
