I hadn't heard of metal spinning until I saw it on "How it's Made" (I think, or some similar show). They were making things like bowls and pot covers. I was totally amazed. The way the metal responded to the tools was very cool.

Hi Jim, Great site, and I know how much work goes into making a CD. Looks well worth the money, and I hope you do well. Thanks Glenn
I did some in school(University) - learning nominal metal working and in turn I taught the I.E. professor some electrical and some electronics in turn.

Nice job on the CD-ROM. I think I'm about ready to make the tank ends I need.

Steve; A domed spinning chuck as shown on the chuck examples section of my CD is perfect for making tank ends. Be sure to use thicker metal and to not thin it where it bends to form the shoulder. Good luck. Jim
