One cannot do spinning without a machine.

Sure you can. But then it isn't called spinning, it is called raising
and it has been done for a thousand years.


Raising ISN'T spinning merely because of their names. Although similar
shapes may be made, the spinning process yeilds a product that is
distinctive, and cannot be exactly duplicated without a machine.

(I know about the colonial silversmiths, and the degree to which raising
was, um.... RAISED!)
