$1,000.00 Wish List

You hold stuff off center and form oval-ish shapes. I use a rawhide
mallet ,realising that I may need to polish the surface unless I want
the brushed aluminum finish to partly xfer to the inside of the bracelet.
enjoy!

Ooh! I like it.


I like it so much that when I stumbled across an aluminum bat in the trash, I
grabbed it.
I cut off the handle at the thinnest point (about a 12 according to my sizing
rings), poured it full of plaster for mass and capped it with epoxy. Haven't
used it yet.

It has a fairly tough plastic coating on it, we'll see how it stands up. I
don't plan to _forge_ against it but I expect it to be a happy thing for making
things circular again.

Thanks for the tip.
