Careful

Not very satisfactory, but better than nothing. I particularly like the bit of press work where there is only a tiny bit of metal gripped between the tools and it gets squidged into a new shape with a tweak on the handle. The other favorite part is gradually bending delicate curves that just wouldn't be doable with normal human strength levels. You do have to be careful not to have any body bits where they will get squidged directly, or hit if the part happens to fly out sideways or something. Here I am flattening out the edges of some tiny circular bits to make more flowers.
