Forging Carver Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 On January 14, 2016 at 1:05 PM, Pat Roy said: My concern with candle holders is that they be very stable; you don't want them falling over and burning the house down. Yesteryearforge, I really like your work. The copper is very attractive. I have made one of the Trillium candle holder and like that design very much. Thanks. If you look at the candle holders, the stands have three legs. This tripod type design ensures no wobble and is very stable. You will know if the stand you made is not suitable for a candle. Nice stuff! YYF that horseshoe one is pretty darn nice! I have an old horseshoe that I might try this with. Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesteryearforge Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 A rather large candle holder About 24 inches tall with a 5 inch diameter round candle. Adjustable ( can be slid up or down to adjust the height ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfootnampa Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 WOW! I love the horseshoe one Yesteryear! Is it all one piece, or did you add a piece of sheet for the candle cup? I might like to make a few of those for my horsey friends! I really like the kind of crazy vine-like gnarliness!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Thanks Bigfootnampa The candle cup is a separate piece On 1/20/2016 at 8:40 PM, Forging Carver said: Why do you have to be so good!!!

The end is forged square A square hole is punched in the candle cup slightly smaller than the square on the stem ( I used the square tang on a rat tail file as the punch ) Then the candle cup is heated up and shrunk onto the stem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kubiack Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 I sure like the Advent wreath with the guilded finish and had saved the image the first time you posted it. I has planned on making one from myself before this past Advent season but sadly did not get it done. It will get done before the next one though.

rwolfe Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Here are a couple I did using shed deer antlers. My wife did not like the drips on the table so both now have cups. Both are from atypical antlers which adds to the interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Those are very nice. did you drill and glue them in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rwolfe Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I actually drilled and threaded the cups and then ran a small bolt up from the bottom. A nut on the inside of the cup would have been easier....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culver Creek Hunt Club Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Here is one I did yesterday. I had the glass laying around so gear it around that. For scale the overall is about 7-8" tall. No idea why the pics are sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Nice one. I have some glass parts that have been laying around waiting for me to make them functional again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigcity Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Here is my candle holder. In this picture it is not finished needs paint still. The twist is 4pcs of 1/2angle iron and 4 pcs of textured 5/16 bar welded at the ends and twisted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
