Sean Kennon: World's Smallest Wok
The steel bowl project came out very well, despite not having the optimal tools/setup. The steel was hammered into the sandbag, then hammered into the sandbag over the stump with a void bowl in it. The edges of the square sheet were cut off, some more hammering, then ground down to round out the shape. The steel was shined up using wire brushes (including rotary wire brush). The handles were bent using the bending jig and then welded with much difficulty. (dang wire getting stuck.) The welds were ground down and wire brushed and viola, a somewhat useless bowl!
