    "Crack after a few years if not done properly"

    Like some marriages, crack after a few years.

    That is so cool! IT is really inspiring to see people take a fresh look at crusty old traditions and take a different path. You did a good job on those. They look nice!... and both of you will have pride in the fact that it wasn't something you just went to a store and picked out.

    Now your challenge is to put the same time, work and consideration in keeping the relationship growing over the years.

    Thanks!

    I dont think they will crack, I remembered to anneal them every time they started to get work-hardened, then I annealed and hardened them after I was done with everything but the finishing.

    Great work. This is one of those things that I have honestly never thought of doing, but it sounds like such a great idea. I think i'll put this on my list for future projects.

    Coolest thing I have seen all week. Well, I saw a Lambo going down the road yesterday, but he didn't make it himself.

    Impressive.
