Mr. Vega
I wanted to thank you for the class you gave over the last two months. I learned so much and feel honored you allowed us into your shop and shared your knowledge and your tools with us. While I have a small smithy in the backyard, I was not doing much more than banging on hot steel. Now that I have been taught the basics of mortise and tennon joinery, upsetting, riveting, creating a penny scroll and all manner of other things I feel like their is nothing I can not create now. I must admit the table I created is the largest blacksmithed item I have created to date, next I plan to make a coffee table along with a wraught door (Security door) for my workshop.

PS Thanks again, for anyone out there considering taking one of Mr. Vegas workshops I would strongly encourage it. I learned more in the last 7 weeks about using the proper tools and procedures than I ever imagined. The ability to ask what a particular tool was used for and then get a small demo or instruction was priceless.
