diemai Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 @ 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 ! greetz , diemai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
