I'm an amateur woodturner looking into hand metal spinning as an extension to my craft. I've pretty much established that my Jet can do the fairly small items I'm considering, once I've purchase a modified toolrest, but acquiring tools is another subject. The only manufactured spinning tools available for a home craftsman that I can locate are a limited selection of tools produced by Sorby. Can anyone point me to a custom toolmaker familiar with hand spinning tools, or should I just go to my local machinist and hope for the best?
