It's a special work surface (read: modified stump) for bending metal...Why would someone want to bend metal? I can think of two reasons, 1. making car parts from scratch, 2. making your wife cool gifts like this:

Last night he graciously demostrated how his carved-out-stump-on-a-stand is a valuable metalsmith's tool. First, you take sheet metal and cut a circle out:

Then you place it over one of the holes you carved out of the stump and whack it:

Then you roll it and squish it between these two heavy wheels:

Voila! And now you've got a bowl about an inch deep!

Isn't that interesting? I think it's interesting. Though I couldn't resist throwing in this shot of hubbie's hair:

Hi Julie - Wow, his hair is longer than my husband's! Cool gadget and if you benefit, hey, a win win situation!
Let me know the date and time for the reunion and I will be there!
He is so dang crafty! What a beautiful gift! =)
Love this post, Julie. Fun to learn something about you/your fam.
That heart is really cool, you could sell those on etsy and ebay. That is one serious ponytail. My husband has been letting his hair grow out a little and twice this month he has been called a woman (HA!) I think it is hilarious! He doesn't look like a woman at all-I swear. But the hair from behind well I guess he does! HA!
