chuckster2.0 Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The candle holder was a culmination of various skills learned over the course of 3 days. First, we learned to taper to a square point. We the learned to taper to a round point. We then took those points and learned to bend them in to the hooks seen below. After this we learned to flatten with a visible step. This was incorporated into the hooks. The flatten portion was tapered. After this, we made a fork which I chose not to post since one of the tines on mine broke. We then made this candle holder in order to learn creativity. Originally it was supposed to have a round dish on the top but I suggested making it square instead. This was thought of very highly and several others adopted this style in their design. Being a bladesmith, I could not resist putting a knife of some sort on the piece so I made the feet knives. I twisted the metal into each bend and used a torch to create the spiral. Your critique is welcomed and I hope you like the piece because I had a tremendous amount of fun making it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 Not bad at all! I especially like the idea of being able to trim my candles with the candle holder! Seriously, it's a nice piece though I'm still not sure about the square candle pan as it's attached. The feet would be a treat were they pattern welded too. all in all I like it. Well done.
