Welcome to the forum, Alice.
When I got my Lancaster-style shrinker/stretcher, I quickly demonstrated how it works by making my wife an aluminum barrette (basically a mini version of a tapered motorcycle fender....), added a quick hammered finish and then riveted on a clip for her hair. She's been wearing it regularly ever since, for 15-16 yrs now.. Very cool.
Making small art/utility pieces that get used daily is really great. And you don't need many tools to do great work.
