jeremy k Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 . Here is a coffee cup holder I made as the demo for the Central Minnesota Blacksmiths March meeting. The base is 1/2 " x 5 " x 11-1/2 ". The holder started as a 1/2 " x 1-1/2 " flat bar 18 " long (each end drawn out 5 " by hand). A 3/8 " rivet was used for attachment. Also attached is the quick sketch I made a couple hours before the meeting. The 2 diagonal lines are the approx taper needed from the center point of the upright. Quote
MRobb Posted March 7, 2012 Posted March 7, 2012 Very nice, Jeremy. I'm going to have to try this sometime. Mitch Quote
beth Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 sweet jk, a good shape. it makes me think of something i saw that was thicker and heavier at the base of the curve, so that it did not need another base attatched - if you can understand what i mean? so its one piece and heavy enough at the centre to be stable. the one i saw held candles at each end, another idea, but i like what youve done. thats made me want to go and try the one im on about....

John B Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 Hi Jeremy, nice piece, I would have preferred to see a square rivet used in a situation like this, no danger of the arms getting misaligned witrh the base if it is knocked through dropping or other mishap, thats quite a nice chunky base. Quote
