Hi Ed,

If I remember correctly, the best aluminium for spinning is 3003 alloy.

"Not so difficult. I have used aluminum, copper and brass. I prefer
brass, since I can solder the two halves, and it looks better than
copper.
But aluminum is easier to work.

What type of aluminum do you use and does it require annealing?  If so,
how can you do that?
