Candle stick

Hi, Sebastian - glad to see you've added metal spinning to your turning repertoire. Just a thought ..... the form might look a little better if you turn it upside down (with a few slight modifications). Just my 2¢ ... and worth what you paid for it.

Lovely work. I have to ask is this your first foray into metal spinning? Was it difficult to learn/do?

Thank you very much for the comment and I defiantly agree with you I just made another candle stick with the metal spun piece at the top, let me know what you think!

Thank you so much for your comment and I have been learning metal spinning for a while but only recently stared incorporating it into my work and the only tools I got were a metal spinning tool rest and a metal rod that I made my own tool out of. It had a bit of learning curve for me but the most important things I found were using lots of wax as lubricant to help the tool shape the metal not cut it, polishing your metal spinning tool and lubricating it with wax as well, and going at a relatively slow speed and just taking it pretty slow but I am defiantly still a beginner as well.
