This issue focuses on Don Plummer's offering of the Sorber Collection
in the book "Colonial Wrought Iron". We selected examples of
actual work from the book and created step by step explanations of how
they could have been made. Included is this extendable candle holder made
to be driven into
a crevice or a wooden beam. |
