Post by: Conceptz-X on September 10, 2009, 09:04:39 PM: dunno. Basicly they make a form similar to turning a wood bowl, then hold a metal disc to the form with the live center. They take a blunt tool and work it back and forth to form the disc to the wood form, then they show how to roll the edge and buff it
