Hey Ray,

A project just reared it's head for me. Could you take some more pictures of the folder? or direct me to where I can buy the plans?

Hi Bernd and Eric, Thank you for your comments,

Bernd, the eccentrics are used to ajust  the top bar to allow for the bend on different thicknesses of the metal,
The holes in the top bar are drilled a little oversized to allow for movement,

Really nice work! 

A small folder That doesnt take up a lot of room would be super handy and open up a whole lot of possibilities.

Love the tapping stand too.
