the art of metal spinning

[vambreace]

[andylarkin100]

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!

[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...

[spleno1]

Damn buddy, thats pretty cool.

[Aislan4414]

Amazing! I didn't know this was a way to shape metal. It's beautiful.

[herVonStrumpel]

what kind of steel do you use for this? or aint it steel?

[dontbe]

Where do you get the blank disks?

[sledsandtrucks]

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

[MatsNorway]

What is the end of the tool made of?

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

[Bobbyl007]

Now I want to make room in hte shop and start looking for another machine. LOL.

[owenaero]

exelent

[gettingahandle]

HOT DAM! WHAT KIND OF METAL IS THAT??!!

[FrenkMI]

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

[ARustyGear]

I must say. After watching my dad do this many times. you too both share a similar style, which means you both either suck (joking) or are good at it. This brought back those 20 years in the shop with my dad thanks!

[splodeyfrog]

Gonna make a cone for my Dobro now!

[montey1017]

cool...and...well...I have to say it...awesome accent

[TomB455]

5***** my man, verry fine art!!

[Southslider51]

A true craftsman! awesome to see how it's done.

[HybridWaterMan2]

Well done spinning by a master artisan. Just like mold making but with metal as pliable as butter in his hands- very nice!

[annabelsoothill]

Excellent, thanks for putting this on!

[malayrojak]

Can someone please tell me the name of the music/artist that starts playingat 2:31?

Cheers!

[keni4412]

wow, what a great work Mr!! We call like this technology

HERASIBORI in Japan good job any way,

[BrianMDPhD]

Oh wow now that is an art form. Don't see much skilled labor like that anymore..

[Philscbx]

Aluminum is usually the material used.

Our metal shop class in highschool 45 years ago did this as first project.

You don't need massive safety gear, just glasses and common sense.

Stainless would be difficult.

Brass & copper would be fun.

Nice show, well done.

I think a lot of this is being hydro-formed now, like coke cans.

[gblpst81]

That's just crazy. I pride myself in understanding how most things are manufactured, but this was a new lesson for me. Now I know how they make all those lamps and ceiling fans you can buy at the home improvement stores. Of course, I'm sure they are using a CNC spinning process, but it's great to see it actually done like that. Thanks for the video.

[calholli]

cool..

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.

[DORUKOZKAN]

wow thats hella cool !

[2EyezOnU]

My dad taught school shop before me. I know I've seen this method done years and years ago, I had forgotten about it until today.  I'm glad you've posted this craft, Thank You.

[UniversalWake]

like a big beautiful spinning razor blade :) Great vid!

[Leebm29]

very impressive

[checazzovolete]

bellissimo lavoro artigianale

[cosast54]

English accent but cant localize

[joshpgnut]

what rpms do you run for that? does it depend on the material?  I guess your kinda limited on materials anyway. There is only certain materials low tensile strength

[corderopilot]

just awesome!

[aaanry]

excellent work!

Thank you!

[nikhilphillips]

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?!

[shinyfuzzy]

@nikhilphillips i dont see why they couldnt be made like that

[BernhardHofmann]

I'm looking for a beginners guide. I'll check your channel and hope for the best because this has been the best lesson so far. Lots of "just watch" videos here, but so few explain what's going on.

[QuarkToo]

Thanks for the lesson! You made that look easy.

[MrSinAfterSin]

Memories indeed.

[Leyshon001]

Thanks for the instruction

[johnbanddontforgetit]

that pretty neat, i never seen it done that way

[Goober650]

Beautiful!

[lewickibob]

Wow, un frikin believable. Great work. Never seen that done before. Amazing to say the least.

[morty369]

Now that brought back a lot of memories!! Used to be a metal spinner many years ago in the jewellery quarter, Birmingham. Thank you!

[brendake93]

Nicely done :)

[wayne205stevens]

fantastic! I'd love a job doing that! 5/5*

[malayrojak]

I am half thinking it is an almost extinct breed. Been trying to find training courses around my area for a while now.

*sighs*

[samuellee118]

what's kind of material about the tooling? how do you make it?

[denbopipe]

I`ve wondered for years how it was done thanks for enlightening me

[stategorgeous]

That was beautiful. Thanks.

[Smartathanyou]

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

[beachnative420]

Great work!!!

[GAPONTEX]

At how many RPM does your lathe works. I need spinning 1mm stainless steel.

I would apreciate your coments. Guillermo Aponte

[toggyuel]

I recon it around 1500/2000rpm

[pipeorganphil]

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

[woodnut1111]

WOW
