RE: metal spinning on DIY

Coincidentally I was channel surfing that same night, never having watched a second of the DIY channel. However I happened on the channel at the instant this guy was turning the bowl and had exactly the same thought. It looked like he had turned the bowl shape in wood first and then was spinning an aluminum plate in such a way that it copied the shape of the wood master. It sure doesn't *look* that hard, but then I never done any wood turning in my life.

I was watching the Do It Yourself network last Saturday evening.  The "Wood
Turning Techniques" show last week was on metal spinning.  Dave, the master
turner, and his apprentice spun a small aluminum bowl, but I kept seeing
toploads! :o)

Anyways, I thought I'd post a link to the website that revisits the show:

Dave made it look exceptionally easy, though I'm sure there has been a
whole lot of practice!

Cheers!
