Always travelling, up & down the coast road. If I dont have the boat in tow, its the caravan or camping stuff.
Next time, I will PM you to get details.

Went to see Rod in Bayswater today. His number is 9720 2777 if you ever need any metal spinning. He is doing me half a dozen dishes. Here are some pics of his machines. Will pic up my pieces on Wednesday. Will be sure to show you what I am up to then.

It worked.

Spinning is not too complicated. Watch the YT-videos and try it.

I'd be interested in what the former looks like

Small as in only 1 or 2. Although working with has mucked up me sense of scale somewhat. In the end I am getting 6 made. So I will have to make 5 more candle holders now. (Another company I rang wanted to make 50 pieces minimum. )
