It will be very short tutorial but I hope It will help someone.
I create for myself (some time ago so it is well tested) nice and very practical rotating table for gravering. I used typical rotating wooden bard for fruits. I tare off rubber from bottom, attached copper circular plate and cut one side to adjust for my table and at the end I put some tare. That's all. Cost about 20-30$, little work but works great. To stop rotating just use wooden peg. I using it for tsuba but I image that you can use it for many objects.

What is that black stuff? Is it tar? How is it used? Where do you get it? Questions!

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but for anyone searching the site they may be interested in the black tar-like substance in the above photo. I believe it's pitch, it holds a piece in place especially during repousse/chasing.

I agree Izzy, I believe as well it is pitch but it seems that most of the time some components are added, like oil or powder.
