The Art of Metal Spinning | Crafting Aluminum Pot | Asian Workers

Throwing down some 19ga, (32oz), copper transition funnels. These are components to birdbath, feeders and outdoor art installations made by Tom Torrens. I've worked through thousands of pounds of copper over the last 40 years making pieces for him. A difficult spinning to breakdown with that small diameter to start. #metalspinning #metalspinner #metalforming #metalart #metalartist #copper #copperspinning #copperforming #copperart #copperbirdbath #tomtorrens #tomtorrenssculpturedesign | Northwest

Here is a new "cookie tin" I was thinking about while I was making some other smaller containers. This one is 14" dia x 2" deep. Made from 32oz, 99.5% pure copper. A little grinder/flame art, bead roll, hammering and it fits like a glove. A view from over my shoulder this time. Maybe a serving tray? Mantle art? Table art? Just plain art? Whatever it is, I like it. #metalspinning #metalspinner #metalforming #metalart #metalartist #copper #copperspinning #copperforming #copperart #copperwork #copp
