This was really painful to watch! Although the end results looks acceptable, I am not convinced the fork crown center line is aligned with the steering tube center line. Then there is the issue of how round the steering tube is now after squeezing the heck out of it on the vice even with the tool (AL?).

Please don't try this at home!
