This was a fun little project, I learned from it and gained a bit more experience on the lathe and milling machine. I also really enjoyed nickel plating which turned out fantastic.

Well done. This is one of those simple straight forward projects that many people can easily do with quite a few things that can be used on all sorts of projects. Its the first time I have seen that type of nickel plating demonstrated.

I'm very excited to have entered the hammer giveaway! I did just want to mention that there are a couple of odd things in the Ts&Cs of the comp, though (just in case it makes a difference with the powers-that-be who make you put things like this into raffle terms). The 'value' area is blank, and the dates look odd (in that the comp is theoretically over as of 3 months ago). Anyway, I assume these things won't affect the comp, but I wanted to let you know in case it makes a difference.

Wonderful video. A tap wrench that small is something not many probably need, but if you need one, there's really nothing else that will work as well. You could have easily knocked this together in a crude fashion and it would have worked, but you spent the time to make it with craftsmanship and care so you'd have something to be proud of at the end, and you should be.

Every one of your videos drags me somewhere new and interesting. I initially started watching your scrap wood challenge videos when I was doing the same and I haven't ever really been into metal work but it is very cool! It's always been interesting to me that a fair amount of woodworkers transition to metal, but maybe this is just a natural progression of a curious artistic person changing medium. I came to woodworking via being a tileman of all things - the tile pays the bills and the wood makes the gifts and feeds the soul.
