Just tried my hand at metal spinning of a sort. A friend needed a pewter button so I turned a hard maple mandrel, found a piece of old pewter in a junk store and formed the pewter (about .03 thick) around the mandrel. polished it and cut it off and wala, a button.

As of this time I am not teaching vets to turn. Also please do not send any items to me without prior notification. Thank You Everyone.
It is always the right time, to do the right thing.

It can be a dangerous endeavor, with disks flying about your shop, dont stand in plane with the stock.
Be careful. Ag

I’ve done a couple of pieces, 1 aluminum and a few copper pieces, I tuned the moulds from Maple and forced/spun them over that, here’s a link to a post on SMC with a couple of pictures of pieces I made.
