Divided he ad:
I've got all three of Terry Tynan's dvd's... I just haven't watched and absorbed them all yet!  ::)

I am going to give it serious studdy.... I want my spherical boilers!! (And other shapes too!  ;D  )

Yes Eric.... you know what I am aiming to build!!  ;)  Wind ball  ;D

Try buying a circle cutter on impulse off Flea Bay....(bout 8 months ago) £260.00 ($520.00 ish) ... I thought it would help me in the start of my spinning endevours!!! It only cuts 4" - 36" circles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't realise it's size  :o !! (It's damn heavy too!)

Still a reliable source told me it is worth about £600.00!!


I'd better get some tooling made and some spinning done!

I just need to figure out what I need for tooling. Gotta get the videos.

I have a few other things I want to make with spinning in addition to the windball...

BTW... I listened to CD#6. Music is cool but WTH is he singing??

Powder Keg:
Wind ball? CD#6? Where?

Rog02:
I'm probably going to regret asking, but what is a windball?

Brass_Machine:
Hey Roger,

You won't regret asking that question. The windball is actually a aeolipile. Otherwise known as the grandfather of all steam engines. Here is a fantastic reproduction:



Check out this Guys Site. Amazing stuff!
