I think that's what you call a "Labor of Love".
It was a perfect project for teaching how this kind of restoration should be done (that arrived at just the right time). It takes practice to get a feel for how to bend steel just enough. A lot of force is needed but with a little too much and you have gone way too far. My student wasn't going to hurt this one .
