Ah that's interesting, I always wondered how things like that were made, I assumed it was some sort of a press.Originally posted by Churchill View PostWhile you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'Comment

I used to do it, at least one helicopter part required a tube to have the end 'spun'.Originally posted by Churchill View Post
When it became apparent that no-body on our team knew how to 'spin' they sent me over the road to watch a guy making lampshades from sheet metal.
Something has to 'give' to stop excess heat so when spinning soft material you use a hard tool, when spinning a hard material you use a soft tool... Halcyon days.
Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
