Tubbe Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hi, I decided to experiment with a way to make a tealight candle holder from plate. Here is the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I would've arc welded the handle on the male die rather than hand ground a groove for the wrap but that's me. All in all I'm impressed with your video production values, good lighting, well framed decent sound I muted it to keep the better half from making me wear head phones then yell because I wouldn't be able to hear her. The candle holder is elegantly simple and clean and full of possibilities. For instance a person could part all four sides, make increasing scrolls and extend them down to form legs for a sweet trivet or candle holder on legs. I'll be referring folk to your video as an example of high quality video production values as well. This is a win on all counts. Thank you for an example of what a truly knowledgeable person posts rather than the armature dreck so commonly found on Youtube. Frosty The Lucky.

Amhas Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Tubbe, Thanks again for the idea. Creating this was my first little BS project. I had to weld up a specialized guillotine to facilitate since I don't have access to a power hammer and my first attempt by hand was troublesome. Thought I would share the pics from this. Merry Xmas!

Bhutton Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Tubbe...Great video! You are very proficient in your work! Really enjoyed it. Sir Coke...Nice piece! Is the leaf forged with the stem? DId you leave material at the end of the stem to form the leaf or is this welded on? (Iv'e gotta know how you did it) Amhas...Nice work...I might copy your idea. All the Tea Cup holders are awesome! Thanks Guys...Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Coke Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Greetings Bhutto, I make mine from one piece of 1/8 plate and form the stem and leaf from the parent material . No welding just carful hammer control. They take a good 2 hours each . I make quite a few for Christmas presents.. A challenge but worth the extra work. Have fun.
