February 16, 201610 yr Author Strange I don't get this thread in my ifi daily email anymore. Great work everyone.
February 18, 201610 yr Made this a few years ago and just found the picture. Should make some more of these, I think they are called a sash light?
May 22, 201610 yr I was trying to replicate one I found online but don't have the tooling so I changed it a little. It's not great, in fact it's only my second attempt so I still need plenty of practice.
May 28, 201610 yr This candelabra is almost 2m tall, I made it using 50mm x 8mm strap and 25mm square bar. It is held together with only four rivets 12mm, I wanted to see how simply I could join a large object together.
June 19, 20169 yr Wonderful work! The flat stock - did you bend it cold or hot, if I may ask. Thanks for sharing, bests: Gergely

I have no idea when it can be born though. I made this one as a wedding gift for our friends. Forge welded WI from old wagon parts.
June 19, 20169 yr That's a neat piece, Gergely. You have given me an idea for all those bars of wrought iron from the old beds. The texture is nice. I'm not too confident with the forge welding - I'll give it a shot, but I may well resort to the Mig. Thanks for the pic.

Thanks, I'm planning on making another attempt in the next few weeks. I have to get a few other things done first that might make it a little easier on me first.

Well, if it gives any conform to you, this was about my fourth forge welding attempt (and 5th and 6th too ) this stuff that I get from old wagons sticks like honey. I did some ugly jobs, but it never failed the weld. Can't say the same about modern mild, as opposite to the old soft mild, which also welds pretty well (for me, not so much experience). So, happy hammering! Gergely
