Maybe its because I watch a lot of wood turning demonstrations/videos but people touching a couple hundred pounds of spinning material doesn't seem odd. I've seen teachers do things I assumed would kill them multiple times but it apparently is totally normal. I love metal spinning because people do so much cool stuff with turned wood to make objects to spin metal around.

Gwamp posted:Now that I have copious amounts of spare time, I can finally post up some of the silly crap I have been making when the mood strikes me. I like to take old car parts and re-purpose them into impractical weapons. Sort of related my old wood turning teacher would take drive shafts and make turning gouges out of them.

olblue posted:Anyway the question I put to my fellowgoons is, where should I go to find him a place to learn the basics? We live near Beamish, however their smith is locked in an insurance nightmare for teaching young people with disabilities and cant take him on with them. Like I say, once he understands the basics I think he should be good to start the process of rinse / repeat / learn. Someone to ask might be Robin Wood, he's a woodturner who I follow and is chair on the Heritage Crafts Association. He can't help employ/train your son but would know where to turn you. He does however operator a small forge to make his own tools for woodworking! He's in Edale I think https://www.robin-wood.co.uk

Iskariot posted:Why not? It's slow rotation that's really dangerous. A grinder at 10 000 RPM will not take hold of a glove. It will cut it. Any glove is peanuts compared to steel. Even the axle won't catch a garment at that speed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0ehJlL0Ydk Gloves are dumb. I know its kids taking a shredded glove to it but yes, it can suck up a glove.

Fire Storm posted:Harbor Freight question: Is there any reason why I should get this more expensive MIG/Flux welder instead of this one that is $100 cheaper? Wahahahaha nooo mmm chicken wings (gloves and grinders dont mix!) I was going to link tests done with tablesaws and gloves but figured you'd poo-poo that as too low rpm, but yeah, whole gloves get sucked in and eventually stop the blade. After yknow, the whole glove is sucked through a zero clearance insert.

Attach to chain, attach chain to drill press. My old boss liked to use those ID card badge retractable zippy things but gently caress me if it wasn't impossible to pull it around and get it in the chuck and its always being a pain.

With regard to 3D printed steel, woodworkers have been printing their logos in steel and using it as a brand on drawers and projects. Wax stamps would definitely work.

wormil posted:The ones from Shapeways? Yeah, I've seen people use those as "brands," although you'd probably have to print out a few to get the line weight and all to your liking as a brand.
