looks real nice.
did you take it somewhere to get bent?

Nice!

I noticed that you have some Ryobi hand tools. By any chance, would you happen to have tried their drill press or bench grinder? I've been thinking about getting those but had a bad experience with their 3/8 drill.( it broke after a week, only used it twice. )

Looks great, and will be easier to keep clean from spills.

The bench grinder is a real POS. I would troll craigslist for a solid used one. I knew better but it was on sale for black Friday for around $20. I use it with wire wheels and scotchbrite and it is terrible, I couldn't imagine trying to grind metal with it.
