Shop Notes
Metal spinning a pewter Pen & Pencil Holder. Starting with a 7" x .064" pewter disc, shaping, burnishing, trimming lip & incising 2 decorative lines.
The Pen & Pencil Holder is a practical gift. I have two of these on my check out counter in my shop. Today we have more than pens and pencils on our desktop. Markers, rulers, and a host of other accessories will fit is this large vessel. Also of potential interest, they hold a pint of ice cream!
I'm hand spinning a 7" x .064" pewter disc around an 11 pc. steel sectional chuck.
The Centerpiece Vase is one of our oldest and most popular designs. Fresh flowers and dried flower arrangements both look great in this wide mouth vessel.
I'm hand metal spinning a 5" x .060" pewter disc (1,300 rpm's), and forming the body of a baby cup, burnishing, trimming, and rolling the top lip.
The Tall Baby Cup is another popular design for those folks who want a little more volume coupled with a decorative scroll handle.
I'm spinning a 4" x .050" pewter disc, trimming and rolling the edge.
Our Coasters have a nice look and feel. The rolled outer lip adds stability and the weight is good so these won’t stick to your glass the way most coasters do. Sold in sets of four.

Metalspinning the base to a Sonoma Wine Goblet. It is a very difficult metal spinning project. It takes 3 chucks to get to the final form.
The Sonoma Goblet is a beautiful new piece which incorporates the cup from the Leddell Chalice and the taller version of the Stem Goblet base. Here again, I’ve used existing forms and molds to come up with a new design. The Sonoma Goblet has wonderful lines and feels great in the hand. A pair of these would be a wonderful gift!
