WOW, that video makes the process look like a manly process with true artisan skill. Impressive.

Hi Bruce and Bill,
Yes it's amazing to watch, also gives you an appreciation for the amount of work involved in making a spinner, once I saw this it made the price seem very very reasonable.

It really gives you an appreciation for the art and skill involved. I know I won't be making my own spinner anytime soon. Everyone should watch this.

For anyone interested in doing there own polishing this is what we used;
The polishing machine is a 8" Bench grinder
First wheel is stitched cotton 8" x 1"
Polishing compound was BROWN/TRIPOLI BAR
Second wheel was loose calico 8" x 1"
Polishing compound was Green/Stainless Steel Buffing
Final cleaning by hand with Silvo Silver Polish
Cheers

Hi Bill
Thanks for your enquiry, but due to the complexity of the front and back plate of the wirlwind propellers we are currently not looking at supporting this range of propellers at the moment.
However if you could get wirlwind to supply us with an example of the current back and front plate we could look into this for you.

Catto + Cummins Aluminium Spinner ?
Hi Allan,
Any updates on the Cummins/Catto 2 blade propeller aluminium spinner ? Direct email sent.
I know Axel has been working hard with you to get things moving !
I assume we will still need Back and Front plates, plus the hardware from vans, would that be the FP13 kit ?
Having neither of the above, has anyone got the plates and hardware that they would be willing to sell ?
