Daswulf Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Wow Jim, you put some thought into that one. I had to look for a minute to see what was going on beautiful design. Designs like this I always want to see in person because photos don't give you the full visual. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bayshore Forge Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Here are my first two candle holders, very different designs. The first is on a hanging platform and the second is a sort of metal bowl made with a ton of folds. I appreciate any thoughts, positive or negative. Sorry for sideways pic, stupid IPhone.

Dogsoldat Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 These are what I've been making lately. A 3" square of sheet metal with a 4 petal flower on it, layed out much the same as the Aspery rose petals. 13" of 1/4" round for the handle wrapped around a quick jig for consistency. An old washer off a bridge or something with a punch made from the 3/4" bolt that went through the washer. Work hot, punch the candle cup in and roll the petals out.

House of D Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Mr. Yesteryear, I want your anvil... The big one.... They quit making those you know.... When you get tired of tripping over it, shoot me a message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsoldat Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 What size of copper stock are you starting with Yesteryear? Fantastic work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yesteryearforge Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 The copper was some drops from some material that I made some Buss Bars from for the utility company here They were rather large Bus Bars and the material was 1/2 inch thick X 3 inches wide The drops ranged from 3/4 inch to 2 inches wide that were left after sawing the lengths of copper to the required size. Thought this would be a better use for the drops than just scrapping them even though copper prices were high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Roy Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 My concern with candle holders is that they be very stable; you don't want them falling over and burning the house down. Yesteryearforge, I really like your work. The copper is very attractive. I have made one of the Trillium candle holder and like that design very much. Thanks.

canada goose Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 This is meant for the "votive" type candles. I have found its very important to get buyers to use good candles . Dollar store candles will be done in an hour and dump a bunch of wax on the table as well .High quality candles will burn many hours and never drip. Really enjoying this thread .Thanks everyone.

gote Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Made this one sixty years ago. Candle sits on a spike. Gas welded I am afraid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
