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. Some places you might look are http://metalspinningworkshop.com where you can buy DVDs about learning to spin, he has a forum at http://metalspinningworkshop.com/forum/upload/index.php but it has been down since around August and apparently is not going to be operational again anytime soon which is a shame. I have the first 2 sets and they do contain good information. Maybe these are available from a library. http://www.paulwileyspinning.com/Book.html is also good. |
