Blown Vessel Tutorial using Deluxe Electric Mandrel Spinner

[JennysSandBox]

And how did you blow into it? Is it hollow on both sides?

How do you control the speed of the electric mandrel?

I'll check during the week on how to purchase.

watching this video seriously makes me want to give it a try:)

The way the disc closes in on itself then seals off at the end is so cool when you see it happen before your eyes. I'm glad you saw it as it happens so fast in the video.

The torches are in two Nortel Minors and a GTT Lynx each on its own magnetic mount. The two Minors are actually mounted to the base of my Hand Stabilizer pedestals on the left and right. They make quick work of heating large pieces. But the beauty of this setup is the versitility of the flame shape and the variety of burn characteristics. Stay tuned and I'll be demonstrating some of the things that can be done "better" with a flame that is honed to produce a specific result.

Thanks for the comments. You can go bigger than 6mm. The Deluxe EMS can take rods or tuming up to 8.5mm. The measurements are in inches rather than Metric though they are close enough to work together in this case.

OMG, so cool. I love the way that you close up the vessel.

Are you cross-firing 3 Minors?

I want to see all 3 in action...

what a fantastic tool. so the normal deluxe spinner will fit a 6mm mandrel?
