JRigoni Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Had to share. My sister wanted a candle snuffer so here's my attempt. I got my inspiration from "A Pattern Book of Tools and Household goods" which is a reproduction of an ad book from the 1700's/ early 1800's. I turned the decorative end on the lathe and forged the taper and also forged the bell from a section of pipe. The end I forge welded solid, but it cracked a little after grinding to fit. Also this was the first project that I could use my new maker's mark. John Rigoni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomN Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Lovely work. The handle end is stunning. Wish I had look you up, when out visiting my Dad in Houston, a few months ago. I have to say that I wouldn't like to be stood next to a forge in the heat of Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
