Candle Holders for the Season
(One Less Present to Buy)
Dave Koenig at Tudor Forge
in Magnolia
The November HABA meeting is all about applying some of the things learned during the year like, forming sheetmetal, rivet joining and drawing out. The project for November is forging a three legged candleholder. This is a fun and challenging project.Dave has prepared a special (pdf) handout you may download by clicking "How-To-Make a Three Leg Candleholder".
Our encore from last year, still applies this year, but the demo piece is very different. So how can we say it better?
Smith be nimble, Smithy keep quick, Please Mr. Blacksmith make us a candle stick (holder)!
Saturday was another great day to be in the woods at Tudor Forge! These photos by Boswell except as noted. Click on links below for more photos.
