This is a new set of candle sticks that got finished today. The heart design separates to make individual sticks. The bases are sawtooth cut to make the set look as one when together. The candle cups were forged from 3/4" iron pipe.

Hello everybody, I've been looking around here for a couple hours now and I'm pretty happy to find a site that brings so many talented metalsmiths together! I've just finished my service enlistment and have been forging my own knives and nick-nacks for about a year now. I would really like to work for a professional forge if there is work/help needed in the southern California area. Maybe you, or someone you know is in a situation to take on a hard worker and motivated learner? Thanks for reading, Happy New Year!

This is a set of candle stick I did today. They are about 15" tall and the cup is forged from a piece of iron pipe. They were fun and a nice distraction from the paying projects.

Andys 'flower pod' from another angle.

After leaving Andy to play with a block of 80mm by 50mm square steel bar, the forge and the power hammer, I returned to find he had made a 'flower pod'. He reckons it just happened and that any resemblence to any part of the female anatomy was enrirely co-incidence!! It appears that the sides and the end have folded in onto themselves, we opened the top fold up to reveal a cup shape with a slit at the bottom. The colour was achieved with a brass wire brush on hot metal. Now we need to see if we can do it again! Anyone know any good erotic art dealers/galleies in the uk! Will also post another pic
