That line about arms and eyes doing the real work is what gets me. Bill probably spent years learning heat control and hammer angles before he ever touched a power hammer, and that base skill is what made his scrolls so clean. What did his hammer technique look like when he was drawing out that 1 inch round, was he using a heavier cross peen or just a regular rounding hammer? I keep hearing guys say the anvil matters less than people think, but 75 pounds is on the light side for moving that much steel by hand.

Doesn't "passive" basically tell the customer that you're getting paid for nothing? That's a weird thing to brag about, of course it turns people off. What they really want to hear is that the work is off their plate, not that you barely lift a finger.

Two euros an HOUR? That is straight up wild, like they expect your backpack to be a rental car or something. Charging more for the locker than the bed makes zero sense, and an "automated system" is just a fancy way of saying nobody there can override it for you. Honestly for five nights I'd just hunt for another hostel, since this smells like a place that will nickel and dime you on everything.
