Mark, First I will say I haven't done this myself, but have seen it done, and have stood in amazement.
There is a Yahoo group called "metalshapers". The members of this active group have metal bashing meets in differing parts of the country. It so happened there was one about 10 miles from my home, so....being facinated with anything like this I had to go. There was a guy there showing how to do metal turning. He had a wooden mold (some may call it a buck) that he formed a bell with. It was amazing to see this bell being formed in less than a minute. I would think that a wooden form shaped like you need for a bulkhead would be easy to make on a wood lathe. Then get your metal and form the edge around the wooden mold using the metal turning techique. I am not sure what make-up the metal was (hardness) but I would assume fairly soft stuff was used. There has to be a hole in the center to mount your metal to the form for turning, but that shouldn't matter for this. Food for thought...

Anybody have a good scheme to fabricate a front bulkhead for a spinner? I can think of a few ways, but I'm looking for more ideas, especially those that work.. Thanks,.
