Quite interesting video showing how a spinner is made on a lathe.


You understated the case, for my money. A thing of great beauty on
several levels formed (spun) from a soft aluminum disk in minutes,
with equipment which could be rustled up by any handy person with a
yen for it. I imagine the first metal push is the hardest, as the
disk seems to be just a friction hold between centers.
Not sure if that was a Mancunian, Yorkshire, or a Derby accent.
