Nice. Pleasing shape.

Thanks. Red hot iron, for some reason, bends extremely gracefully,
compared to everything else that I have ever bent. I do not really
comprehend why that is so.

It does look nice. Maybe the difference between viscous flow and
yield point exceeded? Anyway, it worked.

This is a handle for my rotary table. The original table on it is very
small and inconvenient and I always wanted a better one. The knurled
knob on the handle rotates freely. It is made out of a 1/2" Armstrong
wrench, which I had to bend to provide a more pleasing shape and
clearance to clear various obstructions on the table. I bent this
wrench red hot, which accounts for nice curvature.
