Metal Spinning Anthology

A Collection of Metal Spinning books
The nearly forgotten art of metal spinning is one that was essential to manufacturing unusually shaped objects in the time before roto-molded plastics, vacuum forming and injection moldings. Using simple tools and wooden forms beautiful and utilitarian shapes and forms can be spun out on nearly any sheet metal.

Few books remain available on the subject, but most of the older texts are still very appropriate and topical to this craft. The most common one,
Metal Spinning - James E. Reagan and Earl E. Smith (1936)
is included here as a starting point and for completeness.

Also in the collection are the following texts totaling over 230 pages total on the subject:
Metal Spinning Techniques and Projects - Harold V. Johnson (1960)
Metal Spinning for Home Craftsman - W.B. and J. E. Boice (1940s?)
Metal Spinning excerpts - From METALWORKING (Home Mechanic's Library 1945)
