[TheForge] Finished Project

[Mike Linn]

I've uploaded to the photoaccess site a few photos of the project I just 
completed. These are mantle brackets for a custom mantle in the clients new 
home. He specified the dimensions, hole locations and stock size.  Working 
1 1.2 x 1/4 is a whole different world...  wide stock really want to twist 
on you. I made 1 practice scroll to work out the kinks and get the 
proportions right and figured out real quick that you need to ensure you 
hammer straight and evenly across the width of the material.
