Forged Rustic Candle Stick Holder 

As always, your self-rated less than perfect work continues to inspire! Wish the birds that hang around my smithy were as pretty as the beggars that hang around yours!

Good work, I dub it: YELLOW BILLED MAGPIE CANDLE HOLDER. The official candle holder of Taiwan. It eats wax, as if it were on fire!

Much respect. Your style is deliberate and unique. Thank you for sharing.

came away from this with not only a candle stick project but ideas for new tools thanks

Great project. I find your videos very pleasant to watch. No big noises, very peaceful. When I work, I work in slow motion because, I am retired and the last thing I need to do is turn my hobby into a business. I like your methodical approach to your work, patience is truly a virtue. Thanks for the video. BZ.

Don't short Change yourself too much! Judging by your own comments you learned something and we out here watching definitely learned something thank you for sharing!

Now you're ready for the next black-out As allways very clean forging , thanks for sharing !

Great video. Liked the design of candle holder. Base will surely catch the falling wax👍👍👍👍

It's really good for an initial attempt, and I think someone could take this idea several different ways. The base could be worked into some sort of leaf shape, and I'm sure others would have different, interesting ideas. It might be easier to work this from a piece of square stock (if someone were going to make several of them), but when inspiration strikes, you have to use what you have on hand. You are a constant source of fantastic ideas; thank you for sharing.

Intresting to see how much use those "Simple tongs" you made are getting. I've got some suitable stock set aside, it'll be intresting to see if they are simple enough for a tyro like me.

Great project Mr. Glen, thank you very much for sharing this with us. This gives me a good idea for making a candle holder. Thank you.

Cool candle stick holder, those birds are not anything I have ever seen, love to see your birds in flight. I have a friend that takes pics with a high speed camera and the images of local birds in flight are fascinating. Thank you for all you do.

I thin it came out really nice! the base had a kinda leafy look without being a bad chunky mimic of a leaf, and the candle part and the handle part were both pretty graceful. I guess if you think it didn't come out great, then you could probably improve it, but I like it a lot. just realized that I'm drowning out hammering outside by listening to hammering inside-there's a crew next door fixing my neighbor's roof, which blew off in a typhoon in September.

Nice candle holder. Interesting how it all came together at the end. Looking forward to your next video.

Turned out really good Glen.

If I could fail at the same level as you, I'd be a MUCH better blacksmith! Very few of my ideas ever look like I wanted them to, as we are our own worst critics. This looks great and is far above my capabilities. Well done!

I like that Glen well done. I think the aesthetics are cool.

Very unique. Thanks as always. Beautiful birds

Nice work Glen!

Hey Glen, is great! Thanks for sharing and take care 👍

Love the tongs!

Looks very nice!

it's good to see the technique. thanks!

Cool Candle Holder !

Don’t knock it, very nice work.

Good Job

Well done sir

Nice work as always Glen. Never sell yourself short. You have great ideas and great skill. How about making yourself a cross peen hammer for spreading that metal?

Sometimes beauty is in functionality not aesthetics be well and be safe...........Bill

Moi je pense que l'esthétique est très bien aussi crois moi. P.S: les oiseaux Taïwanais sont très beaux tu as de la chance d'avoir de beaux oiseaux sur ton balcon. Moi j'habite en Belgique ici il n'y a pas d'oiseaux exotiques.

I love it!!! I think it's perfect!!! Lol, when will the T+shirts be out ready for sale? Keep it up!!!

Love this guillotine tool

Excelente 🖒🖒💪

I dont really see anything to be improved, it works and looks good. If you really wanted to, without changing the shape of anything, you could of taken a chisel and hammered a leaf pattern in the base.

It says 'rustic' right in the title, it looks fine to me.

What kind of magnet do you use to deaden the sound?
