forging-fool Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 These are candle sticks I made for my sister-in-laws wedding last week. A labour of love I really enjoyed making. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Dave Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
