Making it this way just makes it look more in line with the way they were made long before either of us were born (or our grandparents for that matter.) I do like this style of candle holder and it appears to be a rather simple build. (I already know how to do the soldering.) Thanks for providing this wonderful example and giving me ideas on how to continue learning this great craft. I enjoy each and every video you have made and will continue to watch (many a number of times to insure I remember how to do it.)
Now this is What The Hell the Damn internet was made for, People sharing amazing information with one another. Thankyou for another great vid. Keep up the great work!
I'm really enjoying the new style of videos you're making Trent. Can't wait to binge watch them. I'm still in the very very early stages of smithing. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
thanks, another great video... i like that you also you went into copper and didnt just stay in "pure" blacksmithing.. im going to give it a go in brass as i have some in the shop...
Just a suggestion Trenton, anneal the copper coupling. No mater how soft the copper is, it will help. Plus you can get a bit more 'patina' and help the price.
Nice! Like them supper cool scrolling tongs (remember you just had made them scrolling tongs the day before) but wanted to say the "half" flat bit tongs you used before that had some pretty good yaws on them for holding stuff. I think I will be making a set like that.
It would be really cool to see some more copper projects if you've got any =). I got a job taking out the old cooper how water tanks and still have the sheet cooper. And need a use for it all. Cool videos as always.
I have a bit of a problem with the audio, when listening to the video with headphones all of the hammer blows are incredibly loud. However, after lowering the volume it's much more difficult to properly hear your voice. I don't know if there would be a way to lower the maximum volume or what, but it's really the only problem I have with your videos, which are always amazing.
Great way to make candle cups Thanks! I could see this copper cup being used on chandeliers , wall candle holders and many others. Will you please make videos on the making of the tools? Do you use a lathe? Do you make different size tool for different size cup?
It is made with a lathe and take only minimal knowledge to make. They can be made in several variations. As far as the cup itself, we just cut out two inch circles.
thanks a little under twenty years ago I went to machinist school never finished and i did not find work in it . Its good to see that I will be able to use it with blacksmithing once i get a lathe.
Lovely piece of work. Do you use a different treatment on the copper than you would on the metal? ie you might wax the metal, but clear coat the copper ?
You don't ride anymore? That's ok, my MS has gotten to the point where I had to give it up too. I feel your pain with the copper work. It took me quite awhile to get it down decent. Give Forge Cat a head-scratch for me.
I got an idea! This doesn't happen to often anymore so here goes. What if you took a sawzall or jig saw and made a peen tool that would fit in it? I'm thinking either out of a blade or from scratch, and then you can texture a lot faster.

We are very happy with what we are putting out. Big thanks to the "Black Iron" Supporters!!
I don't remember when or why I subscribed to you, but I'm glad I did. This is awesome.
I'll take it!
I just discovered your site here, love, love, love it! Made me smile you shop at Lowe's. Thanks for the job security. ;)
thanks, another great video... i like that you also you went into copper and didnt just stay in "pure" blacksmithing.. im going to give it a go in brass as i have some in the shop...
Very cool, you could do a three/four footed standing holder also.
I wish I could do what you do, your videos are the closest I can get. keep up the good work :)
Thank you much!

We have a ton of videos planned, it is almost like one a week isnt enough!
Awsome, time is always the limiting factor.
Thanks, learned a lot.
New to the channel. That was a fascinating video. I like your teaching style. Thanks!
Thank you for dropping by and I hope you learn something!
I love this simple project. I will makes some. Thanks!
They are money makers!

We are still tinkering with the editing software, its an issue we are aware and we are working on it!
Awesome video! Great teaching!

Nice project ! *if I may ask*, what kind of price do you get for these? Thanks!!
I usually sell these for 25.
12:08 Kitty! Kitty loves you :)
I came...for the cat actually. Thanks for pointing it out.
just found your videos today awesome job on them! what does does this sale for usually ?
usually 25
where did jay learn to make these pieces?
Im not certain. I know Jay had all the Bealer books but I Think several items like these he picked up from fellow smiths
Lovely piece of work.
Do you use a different treatment on the copper than you would on the metal? ie you might wax the metal, but clear coat the copper ?
Nope, same treatment all the way around!
You don't ride anymore? That's ok, my MS has gotten to the point where I had to give it up too. I feel your pain with the copper work. It took me quite awhile to get it down decent. Give Forge Cat a head-scratch for me.
Will do it, K!
U should be proud those pliers look great
How much would you sell that piece for ?
I said the same thing when I first used the scrolling tongs I forged.
Very cool...........!
Would you be willing to share the dimensions of the tool for the base of the candle holder please?
What happened to the lip-broom and soup-catcher?
interesting peace . thanks for sharing.

Nice work
Why not use an offcut of copper of pipe
Tin snip skills are not sufficient. Have you tried studying with the legendary snippers of Tibet?
