March 9, 201115 yr These are candle sticks I made for my sister-in-laws wedding last week. A labour of love I really enjoyed making.
March 9, 201115 yr Great looking candle holders. Of course there are questions. How were they finished and what type of steel was used? Was this done by hand or power hammer and hand? Very, very nice work.
March 10, 201115 yr Now that's really beautiful! I am sure she loved it. Thanks for sharing. I am saving a copy for later reference, if you don't mind me using yours for inspiration. Mitch
March 10, 201115 yr Author Great looking candle holders. Of course there are questions. How were they finished and what type of steel was used? Was this done by hand or power hammer and hand? Very, very nice work. Firstly thank you very much, I'm glad you like them. Their made of mild steel and burnished with a twisted wire brush on a mini grinder and wiped down with boiled linseed oil. Arches are 30mm by 6mm flat bar and uprights are all 16mm square bar. It was all hand worked on the anvil, and I made the texture using the sharpened cross pien of a hammer. I'll take a photo of the hammer today encase anyone is interested.
March 10, 201115 yr Great work Michael, its also nice to see you take the time to document your handy work with good photos.
