How long is a piece of string?, The answer does depend on what you are planning to try and spin and the material. I started spinning about 9 years ago and got a complete part after about 8 attempts. I learned with each attempt and did so quickly. I now know the part I was spinning, a goblet shape with a small base, is quite tricky to start due to the small base. I was spinning pewter which is very easy to spin. At the time I had found very little information in print and on the internet, now there is more available, so I was very much just trying it and learning.

To me the hard part depends on the metal you are using, and how hard and often you have to re-anneal it. I was using a piece of aluminum that had to be constantly re-annealed.
