Using Your Metalworking Machinery To Make Unique Gifts

I grabbed some quick pics of two of the lanterns going out . The daughter apartment complex doesn't allow candles so battery power it is. The wood is barn siding planed down and stained by the wife. The next set will be more fancy these were meant to match the daughter decor in New Mexico so I'm told per the boss.

Very, very, VERY nice - you are more of an artist than a machinist I think !

How did you get your bends so nice and straight on the sheet metal tops? Great job!

Thank you After milling the steel I clamped the point against a one inch pipe in a vise and bent the small hook. We then bent the large bend around a torch cylinder steel cap.
