divermike Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Was browsing through some stuff the Editor of the New England Blacksmiths sent me, Thanks!!!! and saw this project, I had a couple of hours, and seeing as how it was -4 when I woke up, after it warmed up to 3 degrees, well it was out to the shop, this is a fun one, but I made the same mistake I always do, got the proportion of the handle wrong as compared to the other parts, but for the first one, I'm satisfied, I know the changes I want to make in proportion and design now.

divermike Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Doug, the candle cup is a 2.5 X 1 inch piece of 18 guage rolled around a bick with a small 1/2" X 1/2" tab, bent under and riveted, I did not even bother to flare the cup on this one, future versions will likely have that feature.

HWHII Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Very nice! I might just try one my self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 See, the problem with posting such large picture files is that we can see your work in fine detail. Close scrutiny shows up a major design flaw with this project. It just wont work unless you get a wick for your candle. We await pics of candle holder Mk2. Well done DM. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukellos Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I don't see anything wrong with the proportions. And this morning, I got my shoes on the right feet n' everything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
