    The feeling of satisfaction from putting a precision bend in a piece of flat-bar for the first time is on roughly the same level as the very first time you manage to saw a straight line without drifting off to one side. Some deep animal part of you is convinced you are the greatest craftsman since Daedelus.

    I am a fan of the contrast between the delicateness of the glass and the industrialness of the stand but also looking somewhat delicate with the curves in the material. At first I wasn't sure this was going to work but at the end of it, it worked out well.

    I loved this metal working company. I had most of their tools and loved working with them. Great project to start with. You should use the pin to hold the steal in the scroler with the handle that you used. It makes a nicer scroll. There should be a pin that locks the steal in place.

    It looks like a decent product, however the biggest question I have is the range of stock sizes it can accommodate. Also, everything there is cold-worked. I would like to see someone who is a blacksmith use these tools with heated metal and see how it performs against their own jigs they've made and if there's a noticeable difference in end product result.
