Stainless Steel Spinner Blade

Recommended Posts

@ mudcat

Welcome to TU !

I have started out my luremaking many , many years ago with making SSt blades and spoons .

To do spinner blades from 0,5 mm sheet is not that hard , provided you have access to the right tools .

0,5 mm SSt sheet still cuts easily with hand shears , but for faster fine shaping of the blade outlines you'd need an industrial grade grinding wheel , also a sandpaper segment wheel to break and smoothen the edges .

Filing in a vise also works , but takes considerably longer .

For cupping the blades you need a steel plate or an anvil and a ballpeen hammer , sizing depending on desired blade size(small blades require small hammer) .

You may also need a plastic hammer and a beating template of hardwood , but that one is done pretty fast with a round chisel and/or a "Dremel" .

The blades can finally be painted , polished , annealed or decorated with decal foil , ........you may take a look at my older gallery uploads , there are a few spoons and spinners there with such blades .

I have made these spinnerblades from approx. 1" to hand palm size .

If you have further questions , feel free to call back in !
