[TheForge] candleholder

[Jack Elliott]

OK,
So I was actually able to get into the shop sunday night and bang on  
something.
What made this particular endeavor cool was it was the first time  
I've been able to do so since talking my wife into letting me buy a  
video camera.
I'd appreciate it if anyone with a little extra time could take a  
look at my video and let me know what you think, both of the video  
and my candle holder base.

thanks in advance.
