What is Traditional Hand Spun Metal Spinning?
Traditional Metal Spinning is, by definition, the practise of forming a flat metal disc on a lathe into the desired shape.
The process is accomplished by using a spinning lathe. Our skilled and experienced spinners manipulate a flat piece of aluminium over a specially designed chuck to create the components that make up our Ghillie Kettles.
The process can be likened to that of a master potter at a wheel. The metal is made malleable through high-speed rotation. A localised force is then applied to the disc, cause it to flow over the block.
As seen on TV!
The Ghillie Kettle Company made its television debut in 2016? The Discovery Channel's 'How it's Made' featured the craftsmanship that goes into every kettle.
2018 saw the kettles starring on ITV's 'Made in Britain'
