Been wanting to try this for a while now and just got around to it. I picked up some scrap aluminum tubing at my local scrap yard. It was about 3/4" OD with a slightly larger than 1/4" ID. Cut a chunk, mounted in my chuck and drilled out the ID to 3/8". Glued in the brass tube with 2-part epoxy. Turned to shape and sanded through all grades of micro mesh. Thought about buffing to a high shine but decided I liked the somewhat "matt" finish. I thought it turned out pretty well for my first attempt at turning aluminum. Comments/critiques?
