Dale Russell Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) 5 tier candlearba for local church . It's only going to be used for 5 weeks ( the 5 weeks of Christmas ) My design after customer loosely decribed what they where after . 4 x 2.2 mtr ( ow it was cut at 2.2 has me at a loss cos i's marked it at 2.4 mtrs i'll never know ) x 9 mm round . 4 x 100 mm left twists & 3 x 100 mm right twists , wrapped brass ( brasing rod ) collars Hand made pans & cups , painted in flat black . If i was to make it again it'd ave ta be outta 10 mm square , then i'd be able to put flat collars around the center twists transitions . HATE the LEGS ( but i HATED the whole thing up until i throw some paint on it ) Now ta deliver it ,,, only 3 day late Dale Russell Edited November 23, 2009 by Dale Russell added something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Glad to see you spared no expense on the set dressing for the photo shoot Dale. Well done bloke. As for the 2.2 length, it was only short on one end wasn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy k Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Dale - Nice Job!!! - I didn't imagine it would be like that when you told me about it a weekago. - legs look ok to me - must be just you LOL. Make one for yourself and make the changes if you choose. I think they will be more than happy with it. - JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chyancarrek Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 but i HATED the whole thing up until i throw some paint on it I hear ya! Been there more than a few times. All that aside - it turned out beautifully Dale, and if the client is happy - well sit back, pour a beer and call it good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

divermike Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 it seems we are always our own worst critics, nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurlyGeorge Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Dale, that is beautiful work. I'm sure that your customer will be very happy with it. You really showed some blacksmith talent there. Keep up the good work and thanks for posting the pix. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Hammers Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 Mate, looks good to me. By any chance was Ian there when you were workin on it ? Youse can just blame him for the issues ( rotflmao ). I know you fellas both understand what I'm about on this. I think it's excellent work.

IanR Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Sorry Dale just caught this, looks good bloke. Those wrapped brass collars are a great feature and dont worry about the legs, they look fine. We are our own worst critics and if you had made them with a that'll do attitude they probably would look crap. Cheers Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
