[TheForge] So, what are you working on?

I'm making balustrades for my house. Building anew home that will 
contain a 3.7m by 5.9m workshop and ample storage place underneath the 
house. My first metal/blacksmithing project of any note. Not that there 
is any forging involved. Just don't have the tools and set-up in the 
rental that we are in to tackle anything really nice in a forged sense. 
So the design has some twists and that is it. I'll post pictures 
somewhere when it is done.

I have made a small adjustable welding table that is turning out to be 
far more useful than I ever thought. 6" by 10" on a tripod stand that is 
adjustable height wise. It is currently sitting as part of my twisting 
jig for the balustrade. I used pipe so I have a hold down to hold pieces 
in place easily. Hold down is similar to a simple spring hold down that 
I use on my anvil.
