- James Thurman - Metal Spinning on the Lathe
Part 1 - Introduction, tools, annealing, and basic technique
Part 2 - More spinning techniques and metal finishing
James Thurman is an Associate Professor at the University of North Texas’ College of Visual Arts & Design, where he is faculty in both 3D Foundations and Metalsmithing/Jewelry. A highly active studio artist for nearly twenty years, his work has been included in hundreds of national and international curated and juried exhibitions as well as ten solo exhibitions in the past ten years.
James has been incorporating handspun metal components in his jewelry and tableware for over twenty years. Most pieces are one-of-a-kind designs that utilize uncommon spinning techniques like deliberate rippling, compression, and use of pre-perforated metal. Recently, he has been using increasing amounts of pewter in his metalwork.
Our club meets the first Monday of each month in Denton, Texas in the Center for the Visual Arts (Corner of Hickory and Belle Streets) at 7PM. All are welcome to attend!!

I'm a metal spinner but we used rollers and compounds for leverage so we can spin heavier things
when are you going to do more?
Good for me,
WHAT IS THE PIECE BETWEEN THE TAIL STOCK AND THE FOLLOWING CHUCK BLOCK?
Hi James very interesting video, I'm going to give metal spinning a go, and would appreciate some advice. Could you please tell me what sought of wood do you use for the chucks, I should imagine it's a hard wood of some sort. Also if possible could tell me if a small megaphone type shape could be spun at say 25 mm small end to 50 mm large end, the thing is the small end would need to extend to be approximately 50 mm before starting to open up to make the megaphone shape. Eventually the small end would be a slide fit over another part. Would be grateful for your advice, keep up the good work. Regards and thanks Reg
Hello
My brother he s professional metal spinning master can he find any job in usa or england ? Anybody have got info about this issue ?
Cowls around most aircraft engines are not likely spun in most cases because their not really round more of an oval shape and in the past like World War Two they were made on Yoders or by hand. Which is another whole metal shaping art form in itself. There might have been some nose work for some radials that could have been done partially by spinning I don't know that but some were done by hydro forming and others were done with dies. The art of "Metal Shaping" as it relates to making car bodies for say Ferrari's or most of the early British cars is the pinnacle of all the metal shaping art forms and takes many dozens of years to get even just OK at.
I would agree that most aircraft cowls are not spun but I've seen custom aircraft parts spun. I was just trying to give an example that everyone could easily visualize.
Is there an optimum rpm for metal spinning?
depends on the metal and size of disk
If you want to get that piece you have stuck on your mandrel off; put it back on the lathe and heat it with a propane torch as its spinning and pry on it with a back stick. It will pop right off
for a lub i just use a block of hard wax of a candle
So disappointing that the audio is shockingly bad
annealing.. a bit of soap smeared on turns black
С алюминием проблем никаких, а вот латунь очень капризная. Так просто не получится.

It looks good, we are also a strong manufacturer of sheet metal fabrication in China, with high quality and competitive price.
As a professional spinner working mostly in precious metals videos, such as this horrify me - so much is wrong and plain dangerous - people so ignorant should not attempt to educate
I wish someone with your skillset would make some videos going over the finer points. Do you have any suggestions on where to read up or otherwise learn the craft properly?
@@elitearbor its in the pipeline
I appreciate your perspective but please keep in mind this was a live demonstration for woodturners who had little to no experience with any kind of metalworking. My goal was just to share a basic introduction. There are many approaches to metal spinning and I wanted to show a very cautious and safe way of starting out. You are welcome to contact me directly to share your further opinions.
@@JamesThurman I appreciate your intentions - but please find someone with some actual knowledge to demonstrate for you as my previous comments still stand - I have been a professional precious metal spinner ( and goldsmith) for over 40 years so am pretty qualified in my comments
@@peterlunn8840Can you outline exactly what he is doing wrong so we know what we should look out for?
Just talking no aktion
just speaking, do your job
You are a good guy but I don't like you talking a lot. Please record your production and deliver it to the people without talking too much. Thank you my dear.
Very long winded video. This guy get the first prize for being boring.
20 minutes of just talking - then 5 minutes on what the video description... Thumbs down!
This was a live demonstration for a local woodturning group. The posted video was just for future reference. I agree that it's not an ideal approach for a UA-cam video. In my own UA-cam channel, I have strived to make my videos much more concise.
