Beautifully made traditional tool.
Would like to give a six star rating. Delivery was very prompt, notwithstanding,  the warning about possible production delays. The manufacturer , The Blacksmith, is clearly a very skillfully artisan who produces a first- class product. My workbench is "only" 1 1/2 " thick but the hold-downs work brilliantly, and have the elasticity and strength of their "antique" predecessors. I am extremely pleased with the quality and finish these hold-downs. Using them not only enhance my workbench efficiency but fill me with a deep and abiding sense of nostalgia. May I ask that the Blacksmith include in the delivery package a summary/history of the production process and  brief usage instructions for the woodworkers out there who are not that experienced in the use of traditional tools. Also, you could offer stick-on leather protection pads as a optional add on. I look forward to passing these workbench holddowns  on to my grand children.
Rating: 5 stars
