Artist and Tool Maker
My Name is Roger Day.
I am a Large Scale Wood Sculptor living and working in Surrey, South East England. As well as an artist I am an engineer and enthusiastic tool maker. I have been developing my process with a whole new set of tooling solutions, specifically bringing me to your forum with the need to spin steel forms of varying shape, that will be used as giant wood burrs on grinders, once coated with Tungsten Carbide abrasives. I hope that you will have the time and patience to possibly help me if I need advise on how to achieve this with my current resourses. Thank you in advance Roger Day

Welcome to the forum Roger. Glad to see you here. Please post some of your wood working tooling ideas. I am beginning to work on some wood projects and would love to learn more about it.

Thanks
I thank all three of your for the welcome. I am grateful for your time in managing this site. After looking round I find that I am a bit overwhelmed with the quality and quantity of information available. I will have to be careful I keep focused on my purpose, as the attraction to become adsorbed in the wealth of experience is apparent. There are many cross overs between shaping materials of different natures, but I consider us all artisans of the same passion for form and function
I have updated my signature as a clickable link to my website. I have not posted to it in the last couple of years, but it shows the scope of my work. I have been in process development for a year, so hopefully new and exciting work will be on show soon. BUT first giant burrs ! I will post my ideas in the spinning section soon, as that is probably the best place for now. Any one who has a request in shaping wood is welcome to ask me directly for specific advise.

Hi Roger,
Welcome to the forum and you do lovely expressive work This isn't a site that has much to do with metal spinning, but you might find a few threads on it. With regard to grinding, you probably know of King Arthur tools, they do grinding heads.... just in case.....www.katools.com
